Using the embroidery sheet
When you want to embroider the pattern in a particular
place, use the embroidery sheet with the frame.
a
With a chalk pencil, mark the area of the fabric you
want to embroider.
CAUTION
• If you use a frame that is too small, the presser
foot may strike the frame during embroidering
and cause injury or may damage your
machine.
Note
• If the fabric is not securely held in the embroidery
frame, the embroidery pattern will stitch poorly.
Insert the fabric on a level surface, and gently pull
the fabric taut in the frame, being careful not to
distort hooped fabric.
