User Instructions

The Free Arm Embroidery Hoop is preferrable to

use for many different occasions. You can easily

embroider difficult-to-hoop projects without

opening a seam. Simply slide part of your

project around the free-arm when attaching the

optional Free-Arm Embroidery Hoop. You can

use the hoop on any type of garments or other

projects, as long as it is possible to slide the

hooped part on to the free arm of the machine.

Quick Release

Retaining Screw

The embroidery surface measures 150x100mm. In the machine user

interface the embroidery area is shown with the (imagined) quick

release in the lower right corner. Consider that when positioning the

design.

• Open the quick release on the outer hoop, and loosen the retaining

screw. Remove the inner hoop.

• Place the project on a flat surface. Use suitable stabilizer at the

wrong side of the project. Place the outer hoop inside the project.

• Place the inner hoop on top of your project. The embroidery hoop

connector to the left of the inner hoop should be placed towards

the "closed" part of the project.

• Push the inner hoop firmly into the outer hoop.

• Close the quick release. Adjust the pressure of the outer hoop by

turning the retaining screw. The fabric should be taut in the hoop

for the best results.

• Remove the accessory tray from the machine and connect the

embroidery unit.

• Position your design as you wish in the embroidery area in the

machine user interface. Go to Embroidery Stitch-Out.

• Slide the hooped project around the free arm. It cannot be too

tight, the hoop must be able to move while embroidering. Hoop

your project so that the narrowest opening is placed around

the free arm, otherwise the opening could get caught when

embroidering and cause misplacement of the stitches.

• Arrange your project around the free arm and in the well area

of the embroidery unit. Make sure it is not too bulky under the

embroidery hoop connector. The hoop is designed for some fabric

to fit under the connector, but for larger projects it is preferrable if

parts of the fabric could be placed at the back of the machine.
