EMBROIDERY APPLICATIONS c Remove the embroidery unit, and cut around the frame from the embroidery outside of the stitches of the fabric for the appliqué piece. And then, reattach the embroidery frame to the embroidery unit. Embroidering Couching Patterns Couching patterns can be embroidered using yarn. Note • Do not remove the fabric from the embroidery frame to cut it. Also, do not pull or push on the fabric. Otherwise, the fabric may loosen in the frame. d Select as the the satin appliqué stitch frame pattern of the same shape and embroider the satin stitch pattern to create an appliqué. CAUTION • When using yarn, we recommend selecting yarn of weight 4 (MEDIUM ). Medium yarn is often referred to as worsted weight, 20 knitted stitches per 10 cm, or 9-11 wraps per inch. The diameter of the yarn is approximately 2-3 mm (approx. 1/12-1/8 inch). If the yarn is extremely thin or thick, has an unusual shape (flat or furry), or more than 2 yarns, the best finishing results may not be achieved, or injuries or damage may result. Note • If the spool stand in the procedure is not included with your machine, purchase the optional spool stand from your Brother authorized dealer or our web site https://s.brother/coeka/. • Before embroidering your project, do trial embroidery on a scrap piece of fabric that is the same as that used in your project.  Preparing for Embroidery Couching a Turn off the machine.
