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.

5. Thread the needle using the auto needle threading device (See page 17) or manually.

* Be sure the spool felt is behind the spool.

(shown above *)

** You do not need to pull the lower thread up

before you start embroidering.

CAUTION Always be sure to raise the presser foot before removing the upper thread to prevent damage to the thread tension system.

USING THE EXTRA SPOOL PIN AND NET Extra spool pin

Use when embroidering with metallic thread.

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.

PREPARATION BEFORE EMBROIDERING

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

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.

Stretchable fabrics such as jerseys

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)

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.

A– To tighten the upper thread tension, adjust the dial to the

right.

B– To loosen the upper thread tension, adjust the dial to the

* 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.

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 will cause poor quality embroidery or your fabric to pucker.

1 Top surface of fabric 2 Reverse side of fabric

If upper thread tension is too strong

The lower thread will be visible on top surface of the fabric. Decrease the upper thread tension.

The upper thread will be loose. Increase the upper thread tension.

If “TRIAL” is touched, the embroidery frame will move and the presser foot will trace the embroidery area to be used for the currently selected pattern and size. * Do not lower the needle. Use the hole of the presser foot as

a guide instead.

Example: To move the embroidery position to the upper right corner

Touch the “????” key. * The embroidery position or area display can be moved by

touching the corresponding arrow key. If the arrow key is touched once, the frame and display will move one step; if the key is touched continuously, the frame and display will move continuously.

If thread breaks during embroidering

The machine stops automatically when the upper thread breaks. When this happens do the following.

1. If the upper thread breaks. * Re-thread the upper thread. If the lower thread breaks or the bobbin runs out of the thread. * Cut the upper thread above the fabric in

the frame and then remove the embroidery frame. Replace the lower (bobbin) thread and then re-attach the embroidery frame.

2. Touch “BACK” to move back a few stitches to slightly before the position where the thread broke or the bobbin ran out of the thread.

* If it is not possible to move back to the

position where the thread broke, touch “REVERSE SEARCH” to move back to the beginning of that color, and then touch “FORWARD” to move forward to just before the position where the thread broke or the bobbin ran out of the thread.

Lower the presser foot lever and press the “START/STOP” button to restart embroidering.

* If the machine stopped because the upper

thread ran out, the upper thread may be tangled on the reverse side of the fabric (thread nesting). Remove the embroidery frame to check for this and trim off any excess build up.

1 “START/STOP” button

If you stop the machine by pressing the “START/STOP” button and need to adjust the stitch location.

Touch “HELP”. Follow the same procedure as for “The machine stops automatically when the thread breaks.”

Caution

● This machine is equipped with a thread breakage sensor. Accordingly, if the upper thread is not threaded, the machine will not operate even if the “START/STOP” button is pressed. In addition, a loud noise which is different from the normal operation noise is generated by the needle bar holding mechanism during layout changes, layout change tests and also when the embroidery frame travels a lot during embroidery. This sound is normal and is not the result of a malfunction.

● If the power goes off during embroidering:

● Turn the power off and unplug the machine. Damage may occur if the machine is on when

the power comes back on.

● To start again, while the main power switch is off, plug the unit in. Then turn the main power

EMBROIDERING USING A SMALL FRAME (OPTIONAL)

Embroidering items such as handkerchiefs and collars

If the accessory frame is too large to hold the fabric to be embroidered, you can use the optional small frame.

1 Embroidery sheet 2 Embroidering range (Maximum)

Height: 70 mm (2-3/4”) Width: 70 mm (2-3/4”)

CAUTION Take note of the following when using the small frame.

1. Always make sure that the initial setting operation for the carriage (embroidery arm) after the power is turned on — in other words, the movement of the carriage (embroidery arm) in order to set the position — is completed before installing the small embroidery frame.

2. If you do not change the position of the pattern on the “LAYOUT” screen, check that the embroidering area for the pattern selected is within 70 mm (2-3/4”) in height and width by touching the “LAYOUT” key. If it is, the pattern can be embroidered correctly.

3. If you have changed the position of the pattern using the arrow keys in the “LAYOUT” screen, use the “TRIAL” function to check that the pattern does not extend past the edges of the frame before starting embroidering. Before touching “TRIAL”, raise the needle and the presser foot lever to their highest positions.

Embroidering handkerchiefs and cuffs

Set the handkerchief into the small frame. You can use the rotation function to move the needle to the desired embroidering location.

Embroidering items which won’t fit into the frame

For items which won’t fit into the frame, baste or iron a piece of stabilizer fabric onto the part to be embroidered, and then place the entire piece into the frame together with the fabric to be embroidered.

Page 71

EMBROIDERING USING A EXTRA-SMALL FRAME (OPTIONAL)

An extra-small frame which is smaller than the small frame mentioned on the previous page is also available as an option. It is used mostly for monogramming initials on pockets or cuffs. The extra-small frame can be used to embroider even smaller articles.

1 Embroidery sheet (vertical type) 2 Embroidery range 3 Maximum embroidering area

– Height : 50 mm (1-15/16”)

4 Maximum embroidering area

– Width : 30 mm (1-3/16”)

5 Center of pattern

CAUTION Take note of the following when using the extra-small frame.

2. Using the arrow keys in the “LAYOUT” screen, use the “TRIAL” function to check that the pattern does not extend past the edges of the frame before starting embroidering.

3. Before touching “TRIAL”, raise the needle and the presser foot lever to their highest positions.

* The extra-small frame can also be used

horizontally by changing the position of attachment to the frame fixing plate. Use a screwdriver to remove the two screws in order to change the attachment position.

* Use the horizontal attachment sheet when the

frame is attached horizontally.

1 Frame fixing plate 2 Screws (x 2) 3 Washers (x 2) 4 Nuts (x 2) 5 Embroidery sheet (horizontal type) 6 Embroidery range 7 Maximum embroidering area

Linking two or more embroidered patterns (using the 90˚ rotation feature)

Example: Patterns in Flower card

(No. 2)

1. Check the lengths of the patterns you wish to embroider continuously by touching “LAYOUT”. If the length is within 18.2 cm (73/16”), you can proceed with embroidering just by changing the embroidery location, without having to re-set the fabric in the frame.

1 Finished appearance 2 Within 18.2 cm (7-3/16”)

After selecting the pattern, touch “LAYOUT” to check the size of the pattern. The size of the pattern is displayed on the left side on the screen.

2. Draw a line on the fabric marking the place where the patterns will be embroidered. Find the center line, and then draw the line along the whole length of the pattern, marking it off into two even lengths. Mark the embroidery start position with a cross by drawing another line across this line.

1 Embroidery start position

3. Align the line on the fabric with a line on the embroidery sheet, and fit the fabric and embroidery sheet into the frame. Clamp the frame with the carriage at the place indicated by “a”. (see next page)

4. After touching “LAYOUT”, touch “90˚ clockwise” to change the arrow in the display so that it points to the right. Then touch “START/CENTER” to set the current needle position as the embroidery start position.

PREPARATIVO ANTES DE BORDADO

Asegúrese de desconectar la máquina antes de realizar el siguiente procedimiento.

Colocación del material estabilizador

Coloque el material estabilizador del lado del revés del área del tejido a bordar. No es necesario colocar material estabilizador en tejidos que son lo suficientemente duros. Para tejidos finos, de punto o elásticos que se pueden mover dentro del marco, coloque un material estabilizador no tejido detrás del tejido antes de bordar. Para obtener mejores resultados también se debe colocar la entretela en el bastidor. Existen diferentes tipos estabilizadores no tejidos. El objetivo del estabilizador es evitar que el tejido se estire o mueva. Los mejores resultados en tejidos elásticos, de punto y livianos se obtienen planchando un poco el estabilizador no tejido.

1 Marco de bordado 2 Tejido 3 Estabilizador no tejido

Bordado de diversos tipos de tejidos

Desde tejidos normales hasta tejidos gruesos

Se recomienda colocar un pedazo de estabilizador debajo, no entre el tejido a bordar que se encuentra en el marco.

Tejidos delgados como organza o batista de algodón

Despue’s de seleccionar el tejido, coloque un pedazo de estabilizador debajo del tejido a bordar que se encuentra en el marco. También le recomendamos usar primero apresto, dejarlo secar o secarlo con la plancha y luego usar un estabilizador no tejido en el bastidor.

Tejidos elásticos como jerseys

Adhiera un pedazo de estabilizador un planchar un poco más grande que el marco donde va a bordar el tejido, y luego estírelo sobre el marco. * X80914-001

Se recomienda usar un estabilizador que se pueda retirar sin afectar el bordado.

Use el marco más pequeño posible en el que pueda entrar el diseño a bordar, de esta manera los resultados serán más bonitos.
