Free Arm Hoop (optional item)
The optional free arm hoop FA10a is specially designed
for embroidering tubular garments such as sleeves, pant
legs etc.
Check the opening size of the tubular portion of the
garment. The opening width must be 20 cm (8) or wider.
The area to be embroidered should be within 20 cm (8)
from the opening.
Opening width:
If the opening width is 20–25 cm the embroidery
area should be limited in order to prevent fabric from
restraining hoop movement.
Press the opening width key and select the opening width
by pressing plus or minus key.
Press the OK key and the area limits will be indicated.
