CAUTION
• If embroidery frames other than the four
included frames or recommended optional
frames are used, the embroidery frame may hit
the presser foot and damage the machine, or
cause injury to the user. (See "Correctly Using
the Embroidery Frames" on page 80 for the
details about the embroidery frames.)
Note
• The embroidery frame indicators show all
embroidery frame sizes in which the
embroidery pattern can be sewn. Be sure to
use an embroidery frame of the most
suitable size. If the embroidery frame that is
too large is used, the pattern may be
misaligned or the fabric may pucker. (Refer
to "Correctly Using the Embroidery Frames"
on page 80.)

■ Hooping fabric in the small
embroidery frame
The procedure for hooping fabric in the small
embroidery frame is described below.
The same procedure is used to hoop the fabric in the
medium embroidery frame.
For details on hooping fabric in the other included
embroidery frames, refer to "Hooping the Fabric" on
page 85.
Loosen the screw on the outer frame.
b
1 Screw
c
Place the fabric with the right side up on
top of the outer frame.
• The outer frame does not have a front or back side.
Either side can be used as the front.
• In order to prevent shrinkage of the stitching or
misaligned patterns, we recommend that iron-on
stabilizer (backing) be used for embroidering. (Refer
to "Attaching Iron-On Stabilizer (Backing) to Fabric"
on page 84.)
d
Press the inner frame into the outer frame.
• Be sure that there are no wrinkles in the fabric after it
is positioned in the embroidery frame.
e
Lightly tighten the screw, and then pull the
edges of the fabric.
