Preparing the embroidery hoop
The embroidery hoop consists of an outer and an inner hoop. There is a corresponding template for every
hoop. The area to be embroidered is marked in 1 cm (0.39inch) squares. The center and corner points are
marked with holes. The required marks can be transferred to the material.
> Mark the center of an embroidery motif on the fabric, using a water-soluble pen.
> Loosen the screw on the outer hoop.
> Remove the inner hoop.
> Make sure that the arrows marks of both hoops match.
> Attach the template holder.
> Place the template in the inner hoop, so the BERNINA logo is at the front edge at the arrow mark until it
clicks into place.
> Place the material under the inner hoop.
> Line up the marked center point on the center of the template.
> Place the material and the inner hoop on the outer hoop so that the arrows of both hoops match.
> Fit the hoops into each other; ensure that the material does not move.
> Hoop the fabric to be embroidered tightly.
> Tighten the screw.
> Remove the template from the hoop by using the template holder.
> To avoid scratches on the free arm, press the inner hoop into the outer hoop so that the inner hoop
including the fabric protrudes downwards by up to 1 mm.
