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

￿There 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

●Use the embroidery frame that matches the size of the pattern being embroidered. Otherwise, the embroidery frame may be hit by the presser foot and cause injury or needle breakage.

a Loosen the embroidery frame adjustment screw and remove the inner and outer frames, placing the outer frame on a flat surface.
