BEFORE YOU START

Thank you for choosing our product.

It is important to perform the upgrade according to the procedure outlined in the Installation Guide for

upgrade. The machine can then be used as outlined in this upgrade Instruction and Reference Guide. To

obtain the best performance from the machine and to ensure safe and correct operation, please read this

Instruction and Reference Guide carefully before you start.

zThe cutwork functions can be used after the upgrade has been installed and certified. Use the machine after

checking that KIT CW has been certified.

zFor the procedure on installing and certifying KIT CW, refer to the Installation Guide for upgrade.

zThe descriptions in this Instruction and Reference Guide show the screens for the 10-needle machine with

Embroidery Upgrade Kit I certified. The settings and operations may differ slightly depending on your machine

model or version.

■Fabric can be cut if cutwork needles are installed in specific needle bars of the machine. This

allows embroidering and cutting to be done with the same machine. (page 4)

■Embroidering and cutting can be done by importing embroidery data (PES format) that includes

a cutwork pattern. (page 4)

zEnjoy creating cutwork designs immediately after you upgrade your machine, using the enclosed CD-ROM (for

machines) that contains 30 cutwork patterns. (page 10)

zCutwork can also be created by designing an original pattern using Palette Version 9.2 with Cutwork, then

importing it into your machine.

■From the machine, an embroidery pattern can be edited so that it will be cut out or sewn with

satin stitching. (page 18)

zWhen creating an appliqué from an embroidery pattern, the appliqué piece can be cut out. (page 20)

zThe embroidery pattern can be cut out along its outer boundary. (page 23)

ABOUT CUTWORK

What is Cutwork?

After installing KIT CW to upgrade the machine, replace the embroidery needles in needle bars 1 through

4 with the corresponding cutwork needles which have been created with different angles so the machine

can cut the fabric and embroider.

Import a cutwork pattern from the enclosed CD-ROM (for machines) to the machine in order to create

cutwork.

For details on the patterns included with KIT CW, refer to the separate Quick Reference Guide.

In addition, the cutwork pattern can be created using the machine to cut or sew satin stitching around the

desired pattern. (Refer to “USING THE MACHINE TO POSITION EMBROIDERY PATTERNS FOR

CREATING CUTWORK” on page 18)

An original cutwork pattern designed in Palette Version 9.2 with Cutwork can be imported into the

machine to embroider cutwork. For details on installing Palette Version 9.2 with Cutwork, refer to the

Installation Guide.

ABOUT CUTWORK

Cutwork is created when an embroidery design has an area that has

been cut away and then reinforced around those sections with

embroidery, there may also be stitching added within the open

spaces to create gorgeous decorative patterns.

Memo

• “Cutwork pattern” is a generic term used to refer to all the embroidery designs created with the

cutwork needles, including cutout patterns, in this manual.

ABOUT CUTWORK

Before Creating Cutwork

Information that you need to understand before creating cutwork as well as the preparations that must be

performed are described below.

Fabric used with cutwork

The base fabric used with cutwork should be no thicker than a soft denim (equivalent to medium to light

weight fabric). Using thicker fabrics may result in damage to the cutwork needles or machine, it may also

effect the finish of the design or cause fraying.

Embroidery frames used with cutwork

When creating cutwork, the cap frame and cylinder frame cannot be used.

Stabilizer

In order to prevent the pattern from losing its shape during embroidering or cutting, use an iron to affix

stabilizer material to the base fabric.

aMedium to lightweight fabric bThicker fabric

aStabilizer

cFabric (right side)

ABOUT CUTWORK

When using fabric that cannot be ironed, such as organza, place water-soluble stabilizer above and

below the fabric, and secure the sheets with an embroidery frame.

For details on affixing stabilizer, refer to “Attaching Stabilizer” on page 14.

Precautions on using water-soluble stabilizer

zDo not use with fabric that cannot be washed with water.

zAvoid storing in an extremely humid or wet location.

zStore in a dry location not exposed to humidity.

Patterns requiring water-soluble stabilizer

Use a water-soluble stabilizer when stitching the cut edges of a design or when embroidering using the

net fill stitch. (Refer to “Attaching Water-Soluble Stabilizer” on page 15.) A sheet of non-woven water-

soluble stabilizer is supplied. Optional film-type water-soluble stabilizers are available for use.

Various patterns on the enclosed CD-ROM (for machines) require water-soluble stabilizer. For details on

patterns included on the CD-ROM, refer to the separate Quick Reference Guide.

By using Palette Version 9.2 with Cutwork, original designs with cutouts and designs using the net fill

stitch can be created. For details on installing Palette Version 9.2 with Cutwork, refer to the Installation

Guide.

Trial embroidery

Be sure to sew trial embroidery using same fabric and threads as project in order to check the

embroidering and cutting results.

needles.

In order to create cutwork patterns, the machine must be switched to Cutwork mode.

For details on switching the machine to Cutwork mode, refer to “Switching to Cutwork Mode” on

page 11.

■Cutwork mode functions

A cutwork pattern can be designed with your desired embroidery pattern using a cut out or outlined with satin

stitching.

shown below.

CUTWORK MODE

Note

• Depending on the pattern, the cutting line may not be cut. In that case, the cutting line will be sewn.

• For details on patterns that cannot be used for cutwork, refer to “ERROR MESSAGES” on page 32.

(For use only with Embroidery Upgrade Kit I sold separately)
