embroidering, the machine will stop and the message

below will appear. Press

The machine will stop after sewing the 10 stitches.

Press .

→

The carriage will move and the thread will be
automatically cut.

Raise the frame-securing lever, and then
remove the embroidery frame.

* Be careful not apply strong force to the fabric at this

time. Otherwise, the fabric may loosen in the frame.

Replace the bobbin with a full one.

Press .

Reattach the embroidery frame.

To return to the point in the pattern where
sewing was stopped, follow steps

through

in the next section.

Note

• Be careful not to apply a strong force to the hooped

fabric.

frame, do not allow the frame to hit the carriage or
the presser foot, otherwise the pattern may become
misaligned.

Memo

For best results, return to a point 2 or 3 stitches before
sewing stopped.
