EMBROIDERING

Embroidering attractive finishes

Refer to the table below and the "RELATED CHART OF SEWING FABRICS, THREADS AND NEEDLES"

using different fabric thicknesses or types of stabilizers. Be sure to carry out a test sewing beforehand to
check.
When embroidering fabrics, attach a
non-woven type of stabilizer fabric.

Setting the fabric into the embroidery frame

Three types of embroidery frames are available: Large, medium and small
Embroidering area for large frame: 18 cm (H) × 13 cm (W)
Embroidering area for medium frame: 10 cm (H) × 10 cm (W)
Embroidering area for small frame: 2 cm (H) × 6 cm (W) (for embroidering initials)
CAUTION
Depending on the size of the pattern and the position of the pattern to be embroidered, it may not
be possible to use the medium and small frames. When using these frames, be sure to check the
layout screen display (refer to page 116) before starting to embroider any patterns. If the frames
are used by mistake, the presser foot may strike the frames, which could cause injury.
