Setting the fabric in the embroidery frame
The fabric is stretched in the embroidery frame. If the
fabric is loose, the quality of the embroidery pattern
may be poor. Put the fabric in the frame without slack
following the steps below. Have a fabric with a
stabilizer material attached and the embroidery frame
(medium, small or large) ready.
■Embroidery frame (medium)
Patterns with a height of up to 10 cm (4 inches)
and a width of up to 10 cm (4 inches) can be
sewn.
■Embroidery frame (small) [option]
Patterns with a height of up to 2 cm (1 inch) and a
width of up to 6 cm (2-1/2 inches) can be sewn.
This is used for letters and other small embroidery.
Memo
zThere are patterns for which embroidery
frame (small) cannot be used.
■Embroidery frame (large) [option]
Embroidery can be done in an area with a height
of up to 17 cm (6-7/10 inch) and a width of up to
10 cm (4 inch) . This is used to embroider multiple
patterns without changing the fabric position in
the frame.
CAUTION
aLoosen the embroidery frame adjustment
screw and remove the inner and outer frames,
placing the outer frame on a flat surface.
Separate the inner and outer frame by removing
inner frame upward.

the size of the pattern being embroidered.

Otherwise, the embroidery frame may be

hit by the presser foot and cause injury or

needle breakage.
