Because of the thicknessof the thread, open, flowingdesigns work best with thisstitching method; heavy,dense designs are not appropriate.Outline quilting designswork especially well whenstitched as bobbinwork.Wind a bobbin with thedesired heavy decorativethread. Note: Use a slow speed of the bobbin winder if available.Adjust the embroidery bobbin case so the tension allows the decorativethread to pull easily through the case.Hoop fabric and tear-away stabilizer with fabric right side down andstabilizer on top (the opposite of how you usually hoop).Use monofilament thread in the needle and reduce the top tensionto 2.0. Hold the top thread and pull the bobbin thread to the topbefore starting to embroider. Note: Turn off the automatic threadcutter used for regular embroidery.Embroider the design and gently tear away as much stabilizer aspossible. Use a darning needle to thread the tail of the decorativethread to the back of the fabric; tie-off and clip the tail.Note: Be sure to return the bobbin case tension to normal when allstitching is complete.38
