Step 7 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). 3 Finish hooping the fabric, and then remove the embroidery sheet. 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 inner ring, which is placed on top of the fabric, and then the fabric is clamped between the inner ring and the outer ring. 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. 5 Hoop the fabric for the next design section. c "Hooping the fabric" on page 179. 180

Tutorial (Advanced)

Keeping the reference lines on the embroidery

sheet aligned with the reference lines for the

first pattern section, place the fabric and inner

ring of the embroidery hoop into the outer ring

of the hoop, and then pull the fabric so that it

is tight.

Finish hooping the fabric, and then remove the

embroidery sheet.

Step 7

Embroidering

Now, we are ready to embroider the design.

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).

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.

Embroider the selected pattern.

Remove the embroidery hoop from the

embroidery machine, and then remove the

fabric from the hoop.

Hoop the fabric for the next design section.

“Hooping the fabric” on page 179.

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 inner ring, which is placed on top of

the fabric, and then the fabric is clamped

between the inner ring and the outer ring.

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.
