5.11 Free arm embroidering
Free arm embroidering is defined as embroidering tubular fabrics or garments which are positioned around
the free arm of the embroidery machine while being embroidered. Often used with sleeves, pant legs or
other narrow-tailored garments.
A tubular piece of fabric can be pulled over the free arm of the machine easily when the free arm is
positioned to the left in parking position before the hoop is attached or removed. Push the button «Start/
Stop» to move the embroidery hoop back to the embroidery position again.
Make sure to use a full bobbin as the embroidery hoop needs to be removed for changing the bobbin.
Borders can be closed to a ring easily and exactly along the edge of the tube. Before embroidering the
last embroidery motif, after rehooping the fabric, activate the function «Pinpoint placement» in the edit
mode. Using the subfunction «Free point positioning» align the still missing embroidery motif precisely.
The movability of the embroidery arm can be limited or impeded with very narrow tubes. Therefore please
make sure that the embroidery hoop can move forwards and backwards sufficiently. An impediment of the
embroidery arm caused by a tube which is too tight can result in embroidery motif offset or in damaging the
fabric.
Check the movability of the free arm
Please note: With tiny fabric tubes, deactivate the thread-away in the Setup Program if necessary.
> Open the embroidery motif on the machine and edit as desired.
