Embroidering
Now, we are ready to embroider the design.
1.
When large-size embroidery design are
transferred to the embroidery machine, the
patterns appear on the embroidery machine
display as shown below. For this example,
select the first embroidery pattern section (Aa).
2.
Attach the embroidery hoop to the embroidery
machine, and then using the machine’s layout
adjusting functions, align the needle position
with the intersection of the lines drawn on the
fabric.
3.
Embroider the selected pattern.
4.
Remove the embroidery hoop from the
embroidery machine, and then remove the
fabric from the hoop.
5.
Hoop the fabric for the next design section.
(For details, refer to “Hooping the fabric” on
page 190.)
a
Note:
• Place the fabric and hoop on a level
surface, and then make sure that the inner
ring is pressed in well enough that the top
edge of the inner ring aligns with the top
edge of the outer ring.
• If the embroidery sheet is not used, the
marks on the embroidery hoop can be
used to hoop the fabric vertically and
horizontally.
However, since the center point on some
embroidery machines is off center, the
embroidery sheet should be used for best
results.
• Another way to hoop the fabric is to use
sticky stabilizer that can be hooped
separately, tear away the protective
paper, then carefully align the fabric onto
the sticky surface using the embroidery
sheet as a guide.
• Tip: The fabric can be hooped more easily
if double-sided tape is affixed to the back
of the inside frame, which is placed on top
of the fabric, and then the fabric is
clamped between the inside frame and the
outside frame.

Memo:
If there is no stitching in section Aa, select the
first section that contains stitching. Select the
menu command Option – Design Property
to check the embroidering order.
b
Memo:
When an embroidery design created in a
custom Design Page is saved or transferred to
an original card, alignment stitching (single
lines of running stitches with the color NOT
DEFINED, with a pitch of 7.0 mm, and starting
with fixed stitches with a pitch of 0.3 mm) is
added at the edges of the design sections.
(The alignment stitching appears in the print
preview and is printed in red.)
Example for hooping fabric using the
alignment stitching with Largelace.pes
(Largelace.pes can be found in the
Sample\Design folder.):
1) Embroider the upper-left design section.
→
Alignment stitching is sewn below and
on the right side of the embroidered
design section.
2) Hoop the fabric for the upper-right design
section with the left side of the hoop
aligned on the alignment stitching on the
right side of the design section sewn in
step 1, and then embroider the design.
→
Before the design section is
embroidered, alignment stitching is
sewn on the left side. Make sure that
this alignment stitching aligns with the
alignment stitching sewn in step 1.
After the design section is
embroidered, alignment stitching is
sewn below the design section.
