Placement: Absolute Check
The goal of Absolute Check is to check the points and boundaries of the design so that they embroider exactly where you
want. You can check the location of any single stitch, even the most complex design.
HOW
Do you know:
• The difference between Check Motif Size
and Absolute Check?
1.
Use the design from the previous page. Fabric and stabi-
lizer should still be hooped and attached to the machine.
Select the bottom-most layer in the Layer Panel.
2.
Draw a dot on the hooped stabilizer about 1” left of the
center line in the lower part of the hoop
3.
By default, the Absolute Check setting is active; there-
fore, when the motif is on the embroidery edit screen,
reference points can be selected and checked for perfect
placement.
4.
Touch any point of the design on the screen and the nee-
dle will move to the location where that stitch would be
taken on the hooped fabric. To fine tune placement, use
the Move Motif icon.
5.
Touch the screen at the bottom of the flower center as
denoted by the cross hairs. The needle will move to the
corresponding point on the hooped fabric.
Tip:
Use the Zoom Tool (up to
9
levels) to zoom in to
ensure the greatest accuracy.
6.
Select “i”; Move Motif. Use the Multi-function knobs (or
drag and drop) to position the needle over the dot marked
in Step 2. (The point that you touch in Step 5 will stitch
exactly over the dot marked on the fabric when you stitch
the design.)
7.
Proceed to the next page.
Note:
Absolute Check is active by default. However, the Motif
Center icon must be deactivated in order to apply Absolute
Check. This can be double-checked by touching the Hoop
Selection icon. Ensure that Motif Center is deactivated - that it
is not outlined in yellow.
