EMBROIDERING A PATTERN

Embroidery Needle Plate Cover
Under some conditions, based on the type of fabric,
stabilizer, or thread being used, there may be some
looping in the upper thread. In this case, attach the
included embroidery needle plate cover to the needle
plate. Attach the cover by inserting the two projections on
the underside of the cover into the notches on the needle
plate as shown below.
To remove the embroidery needle plate cover, place your
fingernail in the groove and lift the plate out.

Using the automatic needle threader, thread the

Lower the presser foot, then press the “Start/Stop”
button to start embroidering.
When the first color is completely embroidered, the
machine will automatically trim the threads and stop.
The embroidery foot will then automatically be
raised.
On the embroidery color order display, the next
color will move to the top.
CAUTION
• When embroidering on large items (especially
jackets or quilts), do not let the fabric hang off
of the table. Otherwise, the embroidery unit
cannot move freely and the embroidery frame
may strike the needle, causing the needle to
break and possibly causing injury.
