Hooping the fabric One rectangular embroidery hoop (140x225 mm) is supplied with your machine. Two circular embroidery hoops with the size 80x80 mm and 120x115 mm are available as an optional accessories. Note: For better embroidery results, place a layer of stabilizer beneath the fabric and hoop both the stabilizer and the fabric. The fabric and stabilizer must sit smooth and be securely hooped. Any distortion or slackness in the fabric will impair the finished quality of the embroidery work. This may, for instance, take the form of areas of color that overlap, contour lines that do not meet up, creases within the embroidery, or areas left unembroidered. The fabric is hooped as follows: 1. Loosen the retaining screw (A); the inner hoop can now be removed. 2. Lay the outer hoop in front of you with the guide pins (B) pointing to the right, for fitting to the embroidery unit. The retaining screw is now pointing towards you. 3. Place the stabilizer and then the fabric over the outer hoop, with the right side facing upwards. Ensure that the fabric is draped over the edge of the hoop. 4. With the inner hoop, press the fabric into the outer hoop. Tighten the retaining screw slightly and tauten the fabric and stabilizer in the hoop by pulling the overhanging fabric. Be sure not to cause any creases in the face fabric or stabilizer. The hoops must be parallel to each other. 5. Then tighten the retaining screw securely. 6. Attach the clips. Note: If you lightly tap the hooped fabric with a finger, the finger should spring back. B A 3:6

Hooping the fabric
One rectangular embroidery hoop (140x225 mm) is supplied
with your machine. Two circular embroidery hoops with the size
80x80 mm and 120x115 mm are available as an optional acces-
sories.
Note:
For better embroidery results, place a layer of stabilizer beneath
the fabric and hoop both the stabilizer and the fabric.
The fabric and stabilizer must sit smooth and be securely
hooped. Any distortion or slackness in the fabric will impair the
finished quality of the embroidery work. This may, for instance,
take the form of areas of color that overlap, contour lines that
do not meet up, creases within the embroidery, or areas left
unembroidered.
The fabric is hooped as follows:
1.
Loosen the retaining screw (A); the inner hoop can now be
removed.
2.
Lay the outer hoop in front of you with the guide pins (B)
pointing to the right, for fitting to the embroidery unit. The
retaining screw is now pointing towards you.
3.
Place the stabilizer and then the fabric over the outer hoop,
with the right side facing upwards. Ensure that the fabric is
draped over the edge of the hoop.
4.
With the inner hoop, press the fabric into the outer hoop.
Tighten the retaining screw
slightly and tauten the fabric
and stabilizer in the hoop by pulling the overhanging fabric.
Be sure not to cause any creases in the face fabric or stabi-
lizer. The hoops must be parallel to each other.
5.
Then tighten the retaining screw securely.
6.
Attach the clips.
Note
: If you lightly tap the hooped fabric with a finger, the finger should
spring back.
