Embroidering with the Border

Embroidery Frame

Since the fabric can easily be repositioned and

rehooped if the border embroidery frame is used, this

frame is useful for embroidering repeated patterns while

sliding the fabric. An added feature of this frame is that

the pressure applied by the upper and lower frames

does not leave an indentation in the fabric. An area of

10 cm × 18 cm can be embroidered.

■Sample Projects Using the Border

Embroidery Frame

We recommend using the border embroidery frame

when embroidery repeated patterns at the edges of

items such as curtains, chair covers, bed covers,

tablecloths and blankets.

■Selecting a Pattern

For this example, we will select an embroidery pattern

available on the CD-ROM.

aCopy the embroidery pattern from the CD-

ROM to the computer.

bCopy the pattern to be used to USB media or

a removable disk in your computer.

cInstall embroidery foot "W" and the

embroidery unit on the sewing machine.

Press , and then recall the pattern from the

USB media or computer to the sewing machine.

eCombine the patterns and use the border

function to repeat the pattern.

CAUTION

• Do not leave the border embroidery frame within

the reach of children, otherwise injuries may result.

Note

• When the border embroidery frame is not being

used, unlock it before storing it.

Memo

• Since it may take some time to recall a pattern from

the CD-ROM directly to the sewing machine, copy

the pattern from the CD-ROM to the computer,

transfer it to USB media or a removable disk, and

then recall it from the sewing machine.

Memo

• For details on the border function, refer to

“Designing Repeated Patterns” in chapter 6 of the

Operation Manual for the sewing machine.

fPress .

gFrom the embroidery frame display settings,

select one of the embroidery frame displays

for the border embroidery frame.

* Of the 12 settings available, there are two for border

embroidery frames.

aBorder embroidery frame embroidering area

bCenter line

hIf necessary, add the thread mark. Since the

pattern will be repeatedly embroidered from

the top to the bottom, add the thread mark at

the lower center of the pattern. When you are

finished, press .

Note

• Do not add thread marks to character patterns.

• Add the thread mark to patterns that do not have a

point of alignment, such as rotated patterns or

patterns that are spaced apart. Patterns that can be

aligned visually can be embroidered cleanly without

the thread mark.

■Hooping the Fabric in the Border Embroidery

Frame

drawn down the center of the area to be

embroidered.

Note

• When embroidering the edges of the fabric, affix

stabilizer material larger than the fabric, and then

firmly secure the fabric and excess part of the

stabilizer material within the border embroidery

frame (in the same way as when the normal

embroidery frame is used). Otherwise, misaligned

patterns may result.

Memo

• The fabric can also be positioned in the border

embroidery frame by aligning the edge of the fabric

with the inner markings on the upper frame.

Note

• If there is excess fabric after the center of the

embroidering area is aligned with the center of the

border embroidery frame, fold over the excess

fabric, place it on top of the upper frame, and then

press down on the levers. Be careful that the folded

excess fabric is not caught in the embroidering area.
