Note
• When embroidering the edges of the fabric, affix

firmly secure the fabric and excess part of the
stabilizer material within the border embroidery

Memo
• The fabric can also be positioned in the border
embroidery frame by aligning the edge of the fabric
with the inner markings on the upper frame.
Note
• If there is excess fabric after the center of the
embroidering area is aligned with the center of the
border embroidery frame, fold over the excess
fabric, place it on top of the upper frame, and then
press down on the levers. Be careful that the folded
excess fabric is not caught in the embroidering area.

the four sides of the fabric to remove any
slack. Finally, check that the fabric is firmly
stretched.
