Separate the inner and outer frame by removing inner
frame upward.

b
Place the fabric with the stabilizer material on top of
the outer frame.
Have the right side of the fabric facing up.
c
Press the inner frame in from the top of the fabric.
Line up
on the inner frame and
on outer frame.
d
Tighten the adjustment screw by hand just enough to
secure the fabric.
e
Gently remove the fabric from the frame without
loosening the adjustment screw.
f
Press the inner frame in from the top of the fabric
again, lining up
on the inner frame and
on
outer frame.
• Press the inner frame into the outer frame. Before
beginning to embroider, make sure that the top edges
of the inner and outer frames are aligned.
g
Tighten the adjustment screw while removing any slack
in the fabric by hand. The goal is to have a drum-like
sound when the fabric is struck lightly.
■
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.
