PERFORMING THE EMBROIDERY
CAUTION
• While the machine is in operation, pay special
attention to the needle location. In addition,
keep your hands away from all moving parts
such as the needle, thread take-up lever and
carriage, otherwise injuries may result.
IMPORTANT
• When embroidering overlapping stitches, it is
difficult for the needle to penetrate the fabric,
possibly resulting in the needle bending or
breaking.
Note
• Make sure that there are no objects within the
moving area of the embroidery frame. If the
embroidery frame hits another object, the pattern
may become misaligned.
• When embroidering large pieces of fabric, make
sure that the fabric is not caught in the carriage.
