CAUTION

–Depending on the size of the pattern and the position of the pattern to be embroidered, it may not be possible to use the medium and small frames. When using these frames, be sure to check the pattern layout on the screen (refer to page 98) before starting to embroider. If the wrong frame is used by mistake, the presser foot may hit the frame, possibly causing injuries.

–Do not use any embroidery frames other than those shown here, otherwise injuries could occur.

This stretches the fabric to help reduce pattern distortions while embroidering.

5.Place the inner frame on top of the fabric, place the embroidery sheet inside the inner frame, and then align the center of the lines on the sheet with the mark on the fabric.
