Note
For best results, lay the outer frame on a flat surface and lay the
fabric on top of it before aligning the center of the embroidery
sheet with the mark on the fabric.

3. Tighten the screw just enough to secure the fabric, and then

gently remove the fabric from the frame without loosening
the screw.

Tighten

Note
This stretches the fabric to help reduce pattern distortions while
embroidering.

4. Remove the inner frame.

CAUTION
–

Depending on the size of the pattern and the position of the pattern to be embroidered, it may
not be possible to use the medium and small frames. When using these frames, be sure to
check the pattern layout on the screen (refer to page 98) before starting to embroider. If the
wrong frame is used by mistake, the presser foot may hit the frame, possibly causing injuries.

–

Do not use any embroidery frames other than those shown here, otherwise injuries could occur.

1. Use a chalk pen to mark the center of the embroidering

position on the fabric.
