FAQs & Troubleshooting

How do I attach or remove the embroidery frame ?

When attaching/removing the 465 mm × 297 mm (approx. 18-1/4 inches × 11-5/8 inches) embroidery frame to/from the machine, angle the embroidery frame so that the lever at the top does not hit the embroidery foot, as shown in the illustration. If the embroidery frame lever is hidden by the fabric, attach/remove it so that the rectangular area (indentation) of the inner frame does not touch the presser foot.

(1) Embroidery frame lever
(2) Embroidery foot
(3) Rectangular area (indentation) (Make sure that this area does not touch the embroidery foot.)

Wind embroidery bobbin thread and insert the bobbin before attaching the embroidery frame. Check that there is enough thread in the bobbin.
Make sure that the frame-securing lever is correctly lowered after the embroidery frame has been installed in the embroidery frame holder.
