Step 7 Embroidering

  1. When large-size embroidery designs are transferred to the embroidery machine, the patterns appear on the embroidery machine display as shown below. For this example, select the first embroidery pattern section (Aa).

    If there is no stitching in section Aa, select the first section that contains stitching. Click on [Application] button, and then click [Design Property] to check the embroidering order.

  2. Attach the embroidery hoop to the embroidery machine, and then using the machine's layout adjusting functions, align the needle position with the intersection of the lines drawn on the fabric.
  3. Embroider the selected pattern.
  4. Remove the embroidery hoop from the embroidery machine, and then remove the fabric from the hoop.
  5. Hoop the fabric for the next design section.

    Hooping the fabric

    When an embroidery design created in a custom Design Page is saved or transferred to an original card, alignment stitching (single lines of running stitches with the color [NOT DEFINED], with a pitch of 7.0 mm, and starting with fixed stitches with a pitch of 0.3 mm) is added at the edges of the design sections. (The alignment stitching appears in the print preview and is printed in red.)

    Sample data for this tutorial

    1. Embroider the upper-left design section.

      Alignment stitching is sewn below and on the right side of the embroidered design section.

    2. Hoop the fabric for the upper-right design section with the left side of the hoop aligned on the alignment stitching on the right side of the design section sewn in Step (1), and then embroider the design.

      Before the design section is embroidered, alignment stitching is sewn on the left side. Make sure that this alignment stitching aligns with the alignment stitching sewn in Step (1). After the design section is embroidered, alignment stitching is sewn below the design section.

    3. Hoop the fabric for the lower-left design section with the top of the hoop aligned on the alignment stitching at the bottom of the design section sewn in Step (1), and then embroider the design.

      Before the design section is embroidered, alignment stitching is sewn at the top. Make sure that this alignment stitching aligns with the alignment stitching sewn in Step (1). After the design section is embroidered, alignment stitching is sewn on the right side of the design section.

    4. Hoop the fabric for the lower-right design section with the left side of the hoop aligned on the alignment stitching on the right side of the design section sewn in Step (3) and with the top of the hoop aligned on the alignment stitching at the bottom of the design section sewn in Step (2), and then embroider the design.

      Before the design section is embroidered, alignment stitching is sewn on the left side and at the top. Make sure that this alignment stitching aligns with the alignment stitching sewn in Step (3) and in Step (2).

  6. Continue hooping the fabric and embroidering until the entire embroidery design is sewn.
    • The procedure is different for models that use a built-in camera to connect large-size split embroidery patterns.
    • For models that use a built-in camera, embroidery positioning stickers (Snowman positioning stickers) can be used.
    • For details, refer to the instruction manual provided with the embroidery machine.
    • By adjusting the size of the sections, patterns can easily be connected.
