EMBROIDERING USING A SMALL FRAME (OPTIONAL)

Embroidering items such as handkerchiefs and collars

If the accessory frame is too large to hold the fabric to be embroidered, you can use the optional small frame.

ABC

1 Embroidery sheet

2 Embroidering range (Maximum) Height: 70 mm (2-3/4”)

Width: 70 mm (2-3/4”)

CAUTION

Take note of the following when using the small frame.

1. Always make sure that the initial setting operation for the carriage (embroidery arm) after the power is turned on — in other words, the movement of the carriage (embroidery arm) in order to set the position — is completed before installing the small embroidery frame.

2. If you do not change the position of the pattern on the “LAYOUT” screen, check that the embroidering area for the pattern selected is within 70 mm (2-3/4”) in height and width by touching the “LAYOUT” key. If it is, the pattern can be embroidered correctly.

3. If you have changed the position of the pattern using the arrow keys in the “LAYOUT” screen, use the “TRIAL” function to check that the pattern does not extend past the edges of the frame before starting embroidering.

Before touching “TRIAL”, raise the needle and the presser foot lever to their highest positions.

Embroidering handkerchiefs and cuffs

Set the handkerchief into the small frame. You can use the rotation function to move the needle to the desired embroidering location.

Embroidering items which won’t fit into the frame

For items which won’t fit into the frame, baste or iron a piece of stabilizer fabric onto the part to be embroidered, and then place the entire piece into the frame together with the fabric to be embroidered.
