Embroidery Preparations Attach Embroidery/Free-Motion Foot 6 1. Turn off the power switch to prevent accidents. 2. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is at its highest point. 3. Disengage the IDT™ system and raise the presser foot. 4. Remove the presser foot and holder by removing the presser foot screw (A). 5. Attach the embroidery/free-motion foot 6 to the presser bar (B) so that the arm (C) of foot should ride on the shaft (D) of needle clamp. For embroidery, exchange the needle to an embroidery needle (E). 6. Attach the presser foot screw (A) and tighten it. For easier access, lower the needle slightly. To Hoop the Fabric For the best embroidery results, place a layer of stabilizer beneath the fabric. When hooping stabilizer and fabric make sure that they are smooth and securely hooped. 1. Open the quick release (A) on the outer hoop and loosen the screw (B). Remove the inner hoop. Place the outer hoop on a firm flat surface with the screw on the lower right (B). There is a small arrow in the center of the lower edge of the hoop which will line up with a small arrow on the inner hoop. 2. Place the stabilizer and fabric, with the right sides facing up, on top of the outer hoop. Place the inner hoop on top of the fabric with the small arrow at the bottom edge. If you can see the hoop size in the lower part of the inner hoop, you have attached it correctly. 3. Push the inner hoop firmly into the outer hoop. 4. Close the quick release (A). Adjust the pressure of the outer hoop by turning the retaining screw (B). The fabric should be taut in the hoop for the best results. Note: When embroidering additional designs on the same fabric, open the quick release, move the hoop to the new position on the fabric and close the quick release. When changing type of fabric, you might need to adjust the pressure using the retaining screw. Do not force the quick release. 47
