How to Embroider - Connecting Patterns

1)

Mark the location on the fabric where you wish to embroider the design.

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 1, and then press the frame into the embroidery unit frame holder until a click is heard.

4)

Choose the pattern. Press the Adjust key, and then the Layout key. Use the arrow keys to align the needle with the center of the first pattern, and then begin embroidering. When the first pattern is completed, repeat the same steps to embroider the second pattern. The two patterns in the illustration above can be embroidered at the position 1).

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.

6)

Press the key, use the arrow keys to align the needle with the center of the pattern, and then finish embroidering.

The extra-large (multi-position) embroidery frame is useful for embroidering designs on large surfaces. Embroidering a large word on a sweatshirt, would be an example where this type of hoop would be useful.
