Embroidery Frame Position and Movement
The following provides information concerning the embroidery frame when operating the embroidery machine.
■ Embroidery frames that cannot be used for
embroidering
As explained on page 28, the embroidery frame
indicators at the top of the screen show the
embroidery frames that can be used to sew the
currently selected pattern.
Embroidery frames with an embroidering area
smaller than the pattern cannot be used. In
addition, the embroidery frame cannot be used if
the embroidery is smaller than the embroidering
area but is positioned so that it extends out of the
embroidering area of the frame.
Embroidery frames with an embroidering area
smaller than the pattern
Patterns that extend out of the embroidering
area of the frame
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.
1 Center of embroidery frame at the correct position
2 Needle position when the embroidery frame is
replaced
In order to correct the misalignment of this
embroidery frame, the embroidery frame
automatically moves to the correct position when
any of the following are performed.
• The embroidery machine is turned on.
The embroidery frame will move.
• The embroidering settings screen is displayed.
The embroidery frame will not move if it is
correctly positioned.
If the pattern extends out of the embroidering
area for the frame, a message appears,
indicating that the embroidery frame should be
replaced. Either replace the embroidery frame
or return to the pattern editing screen and
move the embroidering position.
