Embroider endless borders
beyond the length of the hoop
Some designs are suitable for the embroidery of endless
borders. These are indicated in the design selection menu
with the letter E. There is a connecting point at the start and
at the end of the design.
This way, you can add borders as often as you like.
On a creative card, endless borders can comprise two part
designs which are put together. If this is the case, the
machine stops after sewing the connecting stitch of the 1st
part design. If you press the foot control again, the machine
automatically embroiders the 2nd part design to the first.
You can position another design after the 1st part design,
e.g. a corner.
Prepare the fabric
Using a fabric marker, draw a marking line on the fabric in
the direction in which the border is to be embroidered.
This marking line is an aid when hooping the fabric.
Embroider your endless border as described in "Combine
designs in the hoop", page 6-29.
When hooping, ensure that the marking line runs lengthwise
through the center of the embroidery field. For this purpose,
refer to the marking slit in the center of the hoop.
Our example shows an endless border from creative card
300. This already consists of two designs.
•
The machine stops after embroidering the 1st part
design.
•
If you press the foot control again, the machine
continues to embroider.
•
Rehoop the fabric, displacing it by an entire design
length.
•
Ensure that the connecting point of the design is
positioned at the upper edge within the embroidery field.
Use the positioning template to check this.
•
Ensure that the marking grooves lie congruent to the
drawn line.
•
If you press 'Stitch Restart", the machine drives to the
mutual connecting point.
•
Check that the needle is positioned directly above the
mutual connecting point.
• If this is not the case, touch
and move the design
until the needle enters the connecting point.
• Embroider the next part of your endless border.
•
If you replace the design with a new one, e.g. to
embroider a corner, check that the needle is positioned
correctly.
