Getting Started
artista
& aurora Embroidery Module Set Up
• Turn machine OFF
(Note: artista 630E/640E/730E ONLY may start with machine ON)
• Module Connection Cable
- Stored on the bottom back edge of the module
- Make sure the FLAT side of the cable plug is to the FRONT
• Attaching the Module
- Place the machine on a flat surface (such as a table or countertop)
- Place the module on the machine behind the free arm
- Slide module on from left until lugs engage in base plate
• Removing Module
- Turn machine OFF
(Note: artista 630E/640E/730E ONLY may leave machine ON)
- Remove cable plug from sewing/embroidery computer
- Lift module slightly (do NOT lift using the embroidery arm!) and slide the module to the left
Prepare for Embroidery
• Presser Foot
- Attach Embroidery Foot #15 or #26 to the machine (
artista
& aurora only)
• Needles
- Use the proper needle for the thread and fabric being used
- Insert a new needle at the beginning of each project
- Needle should be in the highest position when attaching
the hoop to prevent snagging fabric and/or bending needle
• Straight Stitch Plate (optional accessory for artista & aurora)
- Reduces flagging of fabric, resulting in improved stitching
• Bobbin
- Use the Embroidery (gold latch) Bobbin Case ( artista 640E
& 730E), threading the “pigtail” for increased bobbin thread tension
- Thread the “finger” of the bobbincase ( artista 630E &
aurora 430E & 440E) for increased bobbin thread tension

Threading
• Thread machine with the presser foot up (this releases tension)
• Thread using either the horizontal or vertical spool pin with the foam pad attached
- Horizontal spool pin is for use with cross-wound threads
- match disc size to end of spool
- smallest disc fits into the end of large cones/spools
such as Isacord embroidery thread
- Vertical spool pin is for use with stacked threads
- also for some decorative threads (metallic threads)
- use supplemental thread guide as needed to control
problematic threads
• Use a thread net to prevent thread from forming loops which
might interfere with consistent feeding of thread
• Multiple Spool Holder (optional; available for deco, artista &
aurora)
- attaches to the back of the machine
- holds up to 13 thread spools
Hooping Fabric
• Find the center of the fabric
• Separate the embroidery hoop sections
- Loosen the screw. It should be loose enough that fabric
and stabilizer both will EASILY fit into the hoop
Note: For more information, see appropriate pages in manual
( aurora 430E & 440QEE: pages 67-68; artista 630E/640E
pages 115-116; artista 730E: pages 221-222)
• Embroidery Templates
- Use to ensure that the motif is centered in the hoop
- Each hoop has a corresponding template
- When inserted correctly, “BERNINA” reads left to right,
right side up
- Template surface is marked in 1cm squares
- Each template has cut-outs to facilitate transfer of markings
to fabric
- There are finger holes to facilitate easy removal of the
small and medium hoop templates
- Included with the Large Oval and Mega hoop templates,
special attachment clips facilitate easy removal

• Secure fabric/stabilizer in the hoop
- Lay the outer hoop on a HARD, FLAT surface

surface and the hoop lies flat.)
- Secure stabilizer to the back of the fabric by lightly spraying
stabilizer with HRFive temporary adhesive spray
- Place fabric and stabilizer on a firm surface
- Position template inside the inner hoop
- Position inner hoop on fabric, aligning any markings
- Grasping both inner hoop and fabric/stabilizer, insert them
into the outer hoop, making sure that the arrows align at
the edges of both the inner and outer hoops
- DO NOT DISTORT THE FABRIC when tightening the screw
on the hoop
- Hooped fabric should be taut, but not stretched or distorted
- Remove template before stitching
Attaching and Removing Hoop
• When attaching hoops, be sure to seat the frame securely.
• Release the clamp completely before removing the frame from
the machine
