Embroidering large-size embroidery patterns Step 1 Attaching stabilizer to the fabric Stabilizer must always be used when embroidering to stabilize the fabric. There are many types of stabilizer; the type that you will use depends on the type of fabric that you are embroidering on. For large-size designs that are split into sections, the stabilizer must be adhered to the fabric, for example, by using iron-on stabilizer, sticky stabilizer or spray adhesive. When using spray adhesive, spray the adhesive onto a hooped piece of stabilizer that is strong enough for the entire large-size embroidery. In some cases, you may need to use two pieces of stabilizer for your embroidery. a Note: • For best results, attach the stabilizer to the fabric (as described in Step 1 on this page). Without the correct stabilizer, the design may become misaligned due to puckering in the fabric. • Be sure to check the recommendations on the stabilizer package. Step 2 Marking the embroidering position Using the template for the size of hoop that you are using, mark the embroidering position on the fabric. 63

Embroidering large-size embroidery patterns
Step 1
Attaching stabilizer to the fabric
Stabilizer must always be used when
embroidering to stabilize the fabric. There are
many types of stabilizer; the type that you will use
depends on the type of fabric that you are
embroidering on. For large-size designs that are
split into sections, the stabilizer must be adhered
to the fabric, for example, by using iron-on
stabilizer, sticky stabilizer or spray adhesive.
When using spray adhesive, spray the adhesive
onto a hooped piece of stabilizer that is strong
enough for the entire large-size embroidery. In
some cases, you may need to use two pieces of
stabilizer for your embroidery.
Step 2
Marking the embroidering
position
Using the template for the size of hoop that you
are using, mark the embroidering position on the
fabric.
a
Note:
• If the card writer module is not correctly
connected or powered, or if the original
card is not inserted or is defective, an error
message will appear. For more details,
refer to “Writing an embroidery pattern to
an original card” on page 195.
• If a section of the pattern exceeds the
maximum size allowed, a message
appears, describing the limitations and the
pattern is not transferred to the original
card. In addition, if the pattern is too large
to be transferred to a single original card,
select the sections to transfer. For more
details, refer to “Writing an embroidery
pattern to an original card” on page 195.
a
Note:
For best results, attach the stabilizer to the
fabric (as described in Step 1 on this
page). Without the correct stabilizer, the
design may become misaligned due to
puckering in the fabric.
Be sure to check the recommendations on
the stabilizer package.
