OTHER BASIC PROCEDURES 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 28, 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. ■ Moving to the correct position If the center of the embroidery frame is at the needle drop point in the embroidering area, the embroidery frame is correctly positioned, in other words, at the starting position before embroidering. If the embroidery frame is changed, the next frame that is installed will not be correctly positioned. For example, if the extra-large embroidery frame is replaced with the small frame, the following will occur. Embroidery frames with an embroidering area smaller than the pattern Patterns that extend out of the embroidering 1 area of the frame In either of these cases, a message appears on the embroidery machine, warning that the embroidery frame must be changed. 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 detected embroidery frame is not actually installed. In addition, if the embroidery frame holder is not installed, the embroidery machine determines that the cap frame (sold separately) is installed. A message indicating that the embroidery frame be replaced may appear even if no embroidery frame is installed. 70 2 1 Center of embroidery frame at the correct position 2 Needle position when the embroidery frame is replaced In order to correct the misalignment of this embroidery frame, the embroidery frame automatically moves to the correct position when any of the following are performed. • The embroidery machine is turned on. The embroidery frame will move. • The embroidering settings screen is displayed. The embroidery frame will not move if it is correctly positioned. If the pattern extends out of the embroidering area for the frame, a message appears, indicating that the embroidery frame should be replaced. Either replace the embroidery frame or return to the pattern editing screen and move the embroidering position.
