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.
