“Read all instructions before using.”
DANGER – To reduce the risk of electric shock.
1.The embroidery machine should never be left unattended while plugged in. Always unplug the embroidery machine from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.
2.Always unplug before changing the light bulb. Replace bulb with same type rated 2.4 watts.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
1.Do not allow this embroidery machine to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when the embroidery machine is used by or near children.
2.Use this embroidery machine only for its intended use as described in this manual. Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer as contained in this manual.
3.Never operate this embroidery machine if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return the embroidery machine to the nearest authorized dealer or service center for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.
4.Never operate the embroidery machine with any air openings blocked. Keep ventilation openings of the embroidery machine and foot control free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and loose cloth.
5.Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
6.Do not use outdoors.
7.Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
8.To disconnect, turn the main switch to the symbol “O” position which represents off, then remove plug from outlet.

“SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS” “This embroidery machine is intended for
household use.”
FOR USERS IN THE UK, EIRE, MALTA
AND CYPRUS ONLY.
If your embroidery machine is fitted with a 3 pin non rewireable BS plug then please read the following.
IMPORTANT
If the available socket outlet is not suitable for the plug supplied with this equipment, it should be cut off and an appropriate three pin plug fitted. With alternative plugs an approved fuse must be fitted in the plug.
NOTE
The plug severed from the main lead must be destroyed as a plug with bare flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet. In the event of replacing the plug fuse, use a fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362, i.e. carrying the 
mark, rating as marked on plug.
Always replace the fuse cover, never use plugs with the fuse cover omitted.
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER ‘E’, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL 
OR COLOURED GREEN OR YELLOW.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue |
Neutral |
Brown |
Live |
As the colours of the wiring in the main lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured black or blue.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or coloured red or brown.
IMPORTANT (In the United Kingdom)
Mains Supply (AC 230/240V ~ , 50 Hz only)
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safely approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
BE SURE to replace the fuse only with an identical approved type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off ensure to remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

1.Insert the extra spool pin into the hole on the top of the machine.
2.Install the spool felt and the thread spool in that order, and
then thread the upper thread.
*Do not thread the thread onto bracket (A).
*When sewing using the metallic thread, set thread tension control dial (B) to the “0” position.
*When setting the thread spool, set it so that the thread winds off from the front of the spool.
*If using metallic thread, we recommend that you use a 90/14 home sewing machine needle.

PREPARATION BEFORE EMBROIDERING
Be sure to turn off the power before carrying out the following.

1 “BASIC
Attaching stabilizer material
Attach a stabilizer material to the reverse side of the area of fabric to be embroidered.
It is not necessary to attach a stabilizer material to fabric which is already sufficiently stiff. For thin, knit and stretch fabric which may move in the frame, attach the fabric to a non-woven stabilizer material before embroidering.
The stabilizer material should be framed along with the fabric for the best results.
There are many types of non-woven stabilizers available on the market. The goal of the stabilizer is to prevent stretch or movement of the fabric. Best results for stretch, knit or light weight fabrics will be obtained by using a light weight nonwoven iron-on stabilizer.

Embroidering different types of fabric
From normal fabrics to thick fabrics
It’s a good idea to place a piece of stabilizer fabric under (not within) the frame holding the fabric being embroidered.

Thin fabrics such as organza or cotton batiste.
After selecting your fabric, place a piece of stabilizer fabric within the frame beneath the fabric being embroidered.
We also recommend using a spray-on stabilizer first, allow it to dry or iron to dry then use a non-woven stabilizer with it in the frame.

Adhere a piece of iron-on stabilizer material which is slightly larger than the frame onto the fabric to be embroidered, and then stretch it over the frame area.
*SA517 (X80914-001)
PATTERNS TROUBLESHOOTING
A stabilizer material that can be torn away without affecting the embroidering is ideal.
Use the smallest frame possible that can still accommodate the pattern being embroidered, as this will give better results.

Loosen the adjusting screw of the outer frame, place the fabric on top of the outer frame with the right side of the fabric up, and then place the inner frame into the outer frame to clamp the fabric.
Make sure that the ƒ marks of the outer and inner frames are aligned.

Align the two pins on the embroidery frame with the frame holder, and then insert the frame into the frame holder until a click is heard.
Be sure to insert both pins. If only the forward or the back pin is inserted, the pattern may not turn out correctly.

THREAD TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Use this procedure when changing the thread tension.
Upper thread tension dial
Upper thread tension setting
Weak (Decrease thread tension)
Strong (Increase thread tension)
To tighten the upper thread tension, adjust the dial to the right.
A To loosen the upper thread tension, adjust the dial to the left.
The standard position is between “4” and “6”. However, a sewing test should always be done to check for the proper thread tension.
Thread tension may need to be adjusted with the use of different thread, fabric or stabilizer fabric.
B
Correct thread tension
Adjust so that the lower thread stitch width on the reverse surface of the fabric is about one-third of the total width.
Correct tension is important because too much or too little tension cause poor quality embroidery or your fabric to pucker.
Top surface of fabric
Reverse side of fabric
upper thread tension is too strong
lower thread will be visible on top surface of the fabric. Decrease the upper thread tension.
