Arranging Embroidery Designs (Layout & Editing) a Note: • Place the fabric and hoop on a level surface, and then make sure that the inner ring is pressed in well enough that the top edge of the inner ring aligns with the top edge of the outer ring. • If the embroidery sheet is not used, the marks on the embroidery hoop can be used to hoop the fabric vertically and horizontally. However, since the center point on some embroidery machines is off center, the embroidery sheet should be used for best results. • Another way to hoop the fabric is to use sticky stabilizer that can be hooped separately, tear away the protective paper, then carefully align the fabric onto the sticky surface using the embroidery sheet as a guide. • Tip: The fabric can be hooped more easily if double-sided tape is affixed to the back of the inside frame, which is placed on top of the fabric, and then the fabric is clamped between the inside frame and the outside frame. I Embroidering Now, we are ready to embroider the design. 1. When large-size embroidery design are transferred to the embroidery machine, the patterns appear on the embroidery machine display as shown below. For this example, select the first embroidery pattern section (Aa). b Memo: If there is no stitching in section Aa, select the first section that contains stitching. Select the menu command Option - Design Property to check the embroidering order. 2. Attach the embroidery hoop to the embroidery machine, and then using the machine's layout adjusting functions, align the needle position with the intersection of the lines drawn on the fabric. 3. Embroider the selected pattern. 4. Remove the embroidery hoop from the embroidery machine, and then remove the fabric from the hoop. 191 5. Hoop the fabric for the next design section. (For details, refer to "Hooping the fabric" on page 190.) b Memo: When an embroidery design created in a custom Design Page is saved or transferred to an original card, alignment stitching (single lines of running stitches with the color NOT DEFINED, with a pitch of 7.0 mm, and starting with fixed stitches with a pitch of 0.3 mm) is added at the edges of the design sections. (The alignment stitching appears in the print preview and is printed in red.) Example for hooping fabric using the alignment stitching with Largelace.pes (Largelace.pes can be found in the Sample\Design folder.): 1) Embroider the upper-left design section. → Alignment stitching is sewn below and on the right side of the embroidered design section. 2) Hoop the fabric for the upper-right design section with the left side of the hoop aligned on the alignment stitching on the right side of the design section sewn in step 1, and then embroider the design. → Before the design section is embroidered, alignment stitching is sewn on the left side. Make sure that this alignment stitching aligns with the alignment stitching sewn in step 1. After the design section is embroidered, alignment stitching is sewn below the design section.
