Selecting the Embroidery Hoop
The best embroidery result is achieved when the smallest possible embroidery hoop for the embroidery
design is selected.
The embroidery design has a pre-set size which is displayed.
• The embroidery design is selected.
> Tap «Hoop Indicator/Select Hoop».
– The machine selects the optimal embroidery hoop according to the size of the embroidery design
automatically. If the preset embroidery hoop is not available, another desired embroidery hoop can be
selected. When an embroidery hoop is attached which does not correspond with the selected one, the
attached hoop is considered active and the embroidery design area is displayed accordingly.
> Select the desired embroidery hoop.
Tear-away Stabilizers
Using a stabilizer ensure more stability of the embroidery project. A tear-away stabilizer suits all woven and
non-stretch materials. 1–2layers can be used. Stabilizers are available in different weights. With larger areas
to be embroidered the stabilizer will remain under the embroidery thread. The stabilizer is applied to the
wrong side of the fabric with temporary adhesive spray. Carefully cut away excess stabilizer after
embroidering.
Cut-away Stabilizers
Using a stabilizer ensure more stability of the embroidery project. A cut-away stabilizer suits all elastic
materials. 1–2layers can be used. Stabilizers are available in different weights. With larger areas to be
embroidered the stabilizer will remain under the embroidery thread. The stabilizer is applied to the wrong
side of the fabric with temporary adhesive spray. Carefully cut away excess stabilizer after embroidering.
Using Adhesive Spray
The application of spray adhesive is recommended for stretch and smooth materials and knitware. It prevents
the fabric from losing shape and slipping. Appliqués can be exactly positioned with spray adhesive. The spray
adhesive shouldn't be used near the machine to avoid contamination.
> Use the spray adhesive carefully at a distance 25–30cm (9–12inch) when spraying the stabilizer.
> Adhere the sprayed stabilizer to the wrong side of the fabric carefully, smoothing material so there are
no puckers.
> Position smaller parts such as pocket flaps or collars on the stabilizer.
