Large/small pieces of fabric
This section provides information on embroidering
fabric that is either much larger or much smaller
than the embroidery frame.
■Embroidering large pieces of fabr ic or heavy
clothing
When embroidering large pieces of fabric or
heavy pieces of clothing, use a clothespin or
binder clip to fasten the excess fabric to the
embroidery frame so that it does not hang down
from the frame. Embroidering with excess fabric
hanging down from the embroidery frame ma y
prevent the frame from moving properly and
may result in a misaligned pattern.

excess fabric to the embroidery frame.

adhesive, baste the fabric to the stabilizer
