Follow the procedure from step
d
to
g
of
“Embroidery patterns” on page 31.
f
Cut the urethane foam so that it will be larger than the
3D font pattern.
• Refer to the pattern size in the screen to determine the
required size of urethane foam, and then cut the foam
with a little excess.
g
Use tape to secure the urethane foam.
• Do not apply tape where it will overlap a pattern.
• Firmly secure the urethane foam with tape so that it
does not shift during embroidering.

Note
• Use urethane foam with a thickness no more than 3
mm (approx. 1/8 inch).
Note
• Basting around the pattern will secure the urethane
foam more firmly during embroidering. After
completing step
e
, touch
in the embroidery
screen. After adding basting, continue with step
f
to finish embroidering.
Note
• Do not apply tape where it will overlap a pattern.
Note
• Adjust the thread tension so that the bobbin thread
is tighter (page 83) and the upper thread is looser
(page 84). If the upper thread is too tight, the
bobbin thread will be visible from the right side of
the fabric, and the embroidery will not have a clean
finish.
