Tip
Always make sure the image you want is going to fit into the space you wish it to, especially on something as small as a ribbon. Your machine should have a layout option for you to check the amount of space required.
Set out all of your threads in advance. This will help you make sure you have all the colors you need and will also save you time.
Warning
Do not leave your machine unattended while it is embroidering. The bobbin may clog or the needle may break. If you do not catch these incidents immediately, your machine could sustain serious damage.
