Bobbin Winder
The Bobbin Winder is available in two basic configurations: as a built in feature of the EMT 10T
and as a stand-alone option. See Figures 3-24 and 3-25.
Thread Selection
Although all standard embroidery threads may be used as an under or bobbin thread, embroidery
results vary depending on the thread weight and composition selected. Thin, weak threads will
increase thread breakage problems. Conversely, thick, slick-finish threads may produce problems
with the stitch quality of finished embroidery. Bobbin tension requires adjustment for good
embroidery with any thread. The weight of the thread selected and the tension used when wind-
ing will also determine the amount of thread on the bobbin and therefore the frequency of bob-
bin changes. For most applications, a cotton thread or a core spun cotton composition thread
(such as RASANT) in a 40 or 50 weight (DTEX numbers 135x2 and 128x2 respectively) is recom-
mended.
Operation
