Notes on embroidering using the multi-
position hoop
• Before embroidering your project, sew a trial
sample of the pattern on a scrap piece of
fabric from your project, making sure to use
the same needle and thread.
• Be sure to affix stabilizer material to the back
of the fabric and tightly stretch the fabric
within the hoop. When embroidering on thin
or stretch fabrics, use two layers of stabilizer
material. If no stabilizer material is used, the
fabric may become over-stretched or
wrinkled or the embroidery may not be sewn
correctly.
• See page 63 “Attaching stabilizer to the
fabric” for more ways to stabilize large
designs.
• Use the zigzag stitch for sewing the outlines
in order to prevent embroidering outside the
outlines.
• For patterns that require the hoop to be
installed at different installation positions,
design the embroidery pattern so that the
various parts of the pattern overlap in order
to prevent misalignment while embroidering.
Printing a Design Page for a
multi-position hoop
If a Design Page for a multi-position hoop is
selected, a complete image of the Design Page is
printed on the first page, followed by an image of
each pattern section and its sewing information
(dimensions of the embroidery, the hoop position,
the sewing color order and the stitch count), so the
number of pages depends on your pattern.
• If a 130
× 300 mm or 300 × 130 mm Design
Page is selected, the pattern is divided into
sections of 130
× 180 mm or 180 × 130 mm
with each section printed on a separate
page.
• If a 100 × 172 mm or 172 × 100 mm Design
Page is selected, the pattern is divided into
sections of 100
× 100 mm with each section
printed on a separate page.
The Design Page is printed as described below.
When Actual Size is selected:
On the first page, the entire Design Page is print-
ed at actual size. (However, for a 130
× 300 mm
or 300
× 130 mm Design Page, a reduced image
of the Design Page is printed.) Afterwards, the
pattern in each section of the Design Page is
printed, starting with that sewn with the first hoop
installation position, and is followed by the sew-
ing information for that pattern on separate pag-
es.
When Reduced Size is selected:
On the first page, the entire Design Page is print-
ed at actual size. (However, for a 130
× 300 mm
or 300 × 130 mm Design Page, a reduced image
of the Design Page is printed.) Afterwards, the
pattern in each section of the Design Page is
printed, starting with that sewn with the first hoop
installation position, on the same page as the
sewing information for that pattern.

Memo:
When the menu command File – Print
