The sash frame is the largest hoop included with your machine.
Before attaching the sash frame to the pantograph, make sure
the extended table has already been installed and is positioned
at its highest point. For instructions on attaching the extended
table, please refer to the How to install the extended table
section. Once the table is attached, place the sash frame on
top.
1. Loosen the two hex screws located on the metal bracket
attached to the pantograph rail. See Figure 49.
2. Slide the sash frame into the machine, lining up the slots
on the outer end of the sash frame’s bracket with the
hex screws, and the slots on the inner end of the sash
frame’s bracket with the support pins. See Figure 50.
3. Tighten all the screws using the 4 mm Allen wrench.

HOOPING
Figure 51
Before hooping your garment, you must determine the proper
placement of the design. To determine where to place the design,
you must first find the center of the design. Keep in mind: The
center will vary on the size of the garment you are embroidering
and the size of the design you are stitching. Design placement
recommendations for a typical left-chest logo are as follows:
• Women’s: Mark a point about 5 to 7 inches down from the area
where the shoulder seam and the collar meet. Mark another point
about 4 to 5 inches from the center of the shirt. Place the center of
the design at the intersection of the points.
