When using THE Dream Machine 2 you’ll
almost always be using a light-weight
bobbin thread like the one that comes
with the machine. I used the Brother
bobbin thread for almost all the samples
I did here. I also tried some prewound
bobbins and they worked perfectly with
this machine. If you have trouble with
a prewound bobbin, Brother includes a
Bobbin Center Pin that you can use.
For the top threads, there's a wide variety
of threads from which to choose: rayon
(which has a lovely sheen), polyester,
cotton, silk and metallic. Each one serves
a special purpose and you’ll get to know
more about these threads as you do
more embroidery.

A variety of threads that can be used for embroidery
Using an embroidery machine for the
first time can be quite challenging, but
going a step at a time and reading the
manuals, you’ll be surprised how quickly
you’ll learn all the wonderful features of
THE Dream Machine 2 by Brother!
I did lots of practicing before I started my
first “real” project. Here are some of the
samples I did, just by reading the manual
and “playing”. I discovered it wasn’t so
difficult after all!
You might need to use the bobbin center pin if
you are using prewound bobbins.
My first embroidery samples using THE Dream
Machine 2. Can you tell that I like Redwork?
