Embroidery Frame Position and Movement The following provides information concerning the embroidery frame when operating the embroidery machine. ■ Embroidery frames that cannot be used for embroidering As explained on page 49, the embroidery frame indicators at the top of the screen show the embroidery frames that can be used to sew the currently selected pattern. Embroidery frames with an embroidering area smaller than the pattern cannot be used. In addition, the embroidery frame cannot be used if the embroidery is smaller than the embroidering area but is positioned so that it extends out of the embroidering area of the frame. Embroidery frames with an embroidering area smaller than the pattern A message indicating that the embroidery frame be replaced may appear even if no embroidery frame is installed. The embroidery machine detects which embroidery frame is installed according to the position of the left arm of the embroidery frame holder. Therefore, the embroidery frame size is determined by the position of the left arm, even if the embroidery frame is not actually installed. In addition, if the embroidery frame holder is not installed, the embroidery machine determines that the cap frame (optional) is installed. 3 Patterns that extend out of the embroidering area of the frame In either of these cases, a message appears on the embroidery machine, warning that the embroidery frame must be changed.
