Step 5 Using the Positioning Sheet to mark the embroidering position on the fabric
- The positioning sheets are included in the package.
- The Positioning Sheets are also in the [Positioning Sheet] folder and can be printed out with a printer.
Location of the Positioning Sheets: C:\Program Files (x86)\Brother\PE-DESIGN 11\Positioning Sheet. - The positioning sheets in the PDF files are at actual size. When printing the positioning sheet from the PDF file, be sure to print it at actual size. Do not print while reducing or enlarging to fit the paper size.
- Punch a hole at the end of each arrow on the positioning sheet.
- Place the positioning sheet on the fabric, and then insert the tip of a marking pen into each hole to mark the fabric.
- Connect the points marked on the fabric to draw reference lines.
The intersections of the lines drawn on the fabric are marked as a, b, c and d.
In addition, the intersections of the lines on the positioning sheet are marked as A, B, C and D. - Place the positioning sheet on the fabric.
Align points A and D on the positioning sheet with marks b and c on the fabric, and then repeat steps 2 and 3 to draw reference lines on the fabric for an embroidering position on the right side. - Place the positioning sheet on the fabric.
Align points A and B on the positioning sheet with marks d and c on the fabric, and then repeat steps 2 and 3 to draw reference lines on the fabric for an embroidering position below the first one. - Repeat steps 4 through 5 to reposition the positioning sheet and draw the embroidering position for each section of the embroidery pattern.
- The intersection of the horizontal and vertical line indicates the center of the embroidery hoop.
- While carefully considering how the fabric will be hooped, place the positioning sheet on the fabric, and then draw lines to indicate the embroidering position. In addition, because all embroidery areas are not drawn on the positioning sheet for large embroidery hoops, be careful that the embroidery area does not extend from the marked area on the fabric as shown below.
