Step 4 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 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 5 Marking the embroidering position Using the template for the size of hoop that you are using, mark the embroidering position on the fabric. b Memo: • The templates are included in the package. • The templates are also in the Template folder and can be printed out with a printer. • Template PDF files have been described within actual size completely. Please confirm the printing property of your Adobe® Reader ® program. If some printing properties such like "Reduce/Enlarge to fit page" would be "Checked", the Adobe® Reader® will resize the PDF automatically.

Tutorial (Advanced)

Step 4

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 5

Marking the embroidering

position

Using the template for the size of hoop that you

are using, mark the embroidering position on the

fabric.

Punch a hole at the end of each arrow on the

template.

Place the template on the fabric, and then

insert the tip of a marking pen into each hole

to mark the fabric.

Connect the points marked on the fabric to

draw reference lines.

Note:

Before an embroidery pattern created in a

custom Design Page is saved or transferred

to an original card, running stitches are

added at the edges of the design sections so

that the design sections can easily be

aligned during sewing. This alignment

stitching appears in the

NOT DEFINED

color

and cannot be edited.

“Memo” on page 181.

Note:

•

For best results, attach the stabilizer to the

fabric (as described 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.

Memo:

• The templates are included in the package.

• The templates are also in the

Template

folder and can be printed out with a printer.

• Template PDF files have been described

within actual size completely. Please

confirm the printing property of your

Adobe

Reader

program. If some printing

properties such like “Reduce/Enlarge to fit

page” would be “Checked”, the Adobe

Reader

will resize the PDF automatically.

So, please “Uncheck” these properties

before your printing out.
