Important embroidery information

Embroidery threads

One of the most important elements in

successful embroidery is the quality of the

thread. We strongly recommend that you

purchase thread from a reputable BERNI-

NA dealer in order to avoid irregularities,

thread breakage, etc. which so often occur

with poor quality threads.

Embroidery is particularly effective if you

use glossy rayon or polyester embroidery

threads as upper threads. They are

available in a wide range of colors for

beautiful embroidery.

Polyester threads

Polyester with a brilliant sheen is a hard

wearing colorfast thread and has a high

tensile strength. It is suitable for all types

of embroidery, especially children’s

clothing and items which will be washed

often or subject to much wear and tear.

Rayon threads

Rayon is a soft viscose fiber with a brilliant

sheen and suitable for fine, delicate

embroidery, or items that will not receive

excessive wear and tear.

Metallic wrapped polyester thread

Metallic thread is a light- to mediumweight

thread suitable for special effects in

embroidery.

Embroidery needle

• correct size thread must correspond with

correct size needle

• replace needle regularly

When sewing with metallic

threads, we recommend the

use of the vertical spool pin

and the supplementary thread

guide (optional accessory).

C

It is recommended to use a

130/705H Metafil needle and to

reduce the speed.

Bobbin-Fil (special bobbin thread)

Bobbin-Fil is an especially soft and light

polyester thread suitable for bobbin thread.

This special bobbin thread ensures a

steady thread tension and an optimal

intertwining of the upper and bobbin

thread. The thread produces even stit-

ching on both, the right and wrong side of

the fabric.

Darning and embroidery thread

Fine mercerized cotton thread suitable for

embroidery (Mettler 60 weight suggested),

which is embroidered on cotton fabric.

Bobbin threads

Use white bobbin thread or

match color with fabric.
