Note • Depending on the pattern, embroidering may not be possible at the appropriate thread density. Before sewing on your project, be sure to embroider a trial sample on a piece of scrap fabric that is the same as the fabric used in the project, using the same needle and embroidery thread. • If the pattern is enlarged and there is space between stitches, a better effect can be achieved by increasing the thread density. • If the pattern is reduced and the stitching is too thick, a better effect can be achieved by reducing the thread density. CAUTION • Depending on the pattern, the stitching may become entangled or the needle may break when the pattern is reduced. If this occurs, slightly enlarge the pattern. • After changing the size of the pattern, check the icons for the embroidery frames that can be used and use only the indicated frames. If a frame other than those indicated are used, the presser foot may hit the embroidery frame and cause injuries. • For details on each key, refer to "Adjusting the angle" on page 99.
