Embroidering Preparation
■ Inserting the fabric
CAUTION
• If you use a frame that is too small, the presser
foot may strike the frame during embroidering
and cause injury or may damage your
machine.
Note
• If the fabric is not securely held in the embroidery
frame, the embroidery pattern will stitch poorly.
Insert the fabric on a level surface, and gently pull
the fabric taut in the frame, being careful not to
distort hooped fabric.
a
Loosen the embroidery frame adjustment screw and
remove the inner and outer frames, placing the outer
frame on a flat surface.
Separate the inner and outer frame by removing inner
frame upward.

■ Using the embroidery sheet
a
Gently remove the fabric from the frame without
loosening the adjustment screw.
Memo
• This precautionary step will help reduce pattern
distortion while embroidering.
Press the inner frame in from the top of the fabric
again, lining up
on the inner frame and
outer frame.
• Press the inner frame into the outer frame. Before
beginning to embroider, make sure that the top edges
of the inner and outer frames are aligned.
Tighten the adjustment screw while removing any slack
in the fabric by hand. The goal is to have a drum-like
sound when the fabric is struck lightly.
Memo
• You can use the included screwdriver when you
loosen or tighten the frame adjustment screw.
When you want to embroider the pattern in a particular
place, use the embroidery sheet with the frame.
With a chalk pencil, mark the area of the fabric you
want to embroider.
