Embroidery Frame Position and Movement

The following provides information concerning the embroidery frame when operating the embroidery machine.

■Embroidery frames that cannot be used for embroidering

As explained on page 28, the embroidery frame indicators at the top of the screen show the embroidery frames that can be used to sew the currently selected pattern.

Embroidery frames with an embroidering area smaller than the pattern cannot be used. In addition, the embroidery frame cannot be used if the embroidery is smaller than the embroidering area but is positioned so that it extends out of the embroidering area of the frame.

In either of these cases, a message appears on the embroidery machine, warning that the embroidery frame must be changed.

The embroidery machine detects which embroidery frame is installed according to the position of the left arm of the embroidery frame holder. Therefore, the embroidery frame size is determined by the position of the left arm, even if the detected embroidery frame is not actually installed. In addition, if the embroidery frame holder is not installed, the embroidery machine determines that the cap frame (sold separately) is installed.

A message indicating that the embroidery frame be replaced may appear even if no embroidery frame is installed.

■Moving to the correct position

If the center of the embroidery frame is at the needle drop point in the embroidering area, the embroidery frame is correctly positioned, in other words, at the starting position before embroidering.

If the embroidery frame is changed, the next frame that is installed will not be correctly positioned.

For example, if the extra-large embroidery frame is replaced with the small frame, the following will occur.
