 |

 |
2)
Position the embroidery sheet so that its reference lines are parallel to the embroidery position marks drawn on the fabric, and then draw reference lines. |
 |
3)
While keeping the reference lines on the embroidery sheet and the fabric aligned, align the two pins on the embroidery unit frame holder with the mounting bracket on the frame, and then press the frame into the embroidery unit frame holder until a click is heard. |
 |
4)
Enter the desired word in this example - "ABCDEF" is used, press the adjust key, and then the layout key. Next press the rotate key, and then press the 90 degree key to rotate the pattern. Press the return key and then press the button which assures that the location of the pattern about to be embroidered is in the correct location, then set the needle position. Press the return key and use the arrow keys to align the needle with the point where the refrence lines cross each other, and then begin embroidering. |
|
5)
Align the two pins on the embroidery unit frame holder with the mounting bracket on the frame 3, and then press the frame into the embroidery unit frame holder until a click is heard. Enter the first part of the word or as in this case "GHIJK," and press the adjust key, and the layout key. Next check the area to assure the design is in proper place and then set the needle position. |
 |
