Step 4 Attaching stabilizer to the
fabric
Stabilizer must always be used when
embroidering to stabilize the fabric. There are
many types of stabilizer; the type that you will use
depends on the type of fabric that you are
embroidering on. For large-size designs that are
split into sections, the stabilizer must be adhered
to the fabric, for example, by using iron-on
stabilizer, sticky stabilizer or spray adhesive.
When using spray adhesive, spray the adhesive
onto a hooped piece of stabilizer that is strong
enough for the entire large-size embroidery. In
some cases, you may need to use two pieces of
stabilizer for your embroidery.
Step 5
Marking the embroidering
position
Using the template for the size of hoop that you
are using, mark the embroidering position on the
fabric.
Punch a hole at the end of each arrow on the
template.
Place the template 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.
a Note:
Before an embroidery pattern created in a
custom Design Page is saved or transferred
to an original card, running stitches are
added at the edges of the design sections so
that the design sections can easily be
aligned during sewing. This alignment
stitching appears in the
NOT DEFINED
color
and cannot be edited.

“Memo” on page 181.
a Note:
• For best results, attach the stabilizer to the
fabric (as described on this page). Without
the correct stabilizer, the design may
become misaligned due to puckering in
the fabric.
• Be sure to check the recommendations on
the stabilizer package.
b Memo:
• The templates are included in the package.
• The templates are also in the
Template
folder and can be printed out with a printer.
• Template PDF files have been described
within actual size completely. Please
confirm the printing property of your
Adobe
®
Reader
®
program. If some printing
properties such like “Reduce/Enlarge to fit
page” would be “Checked”, the Adobe
®
Reader
®
will resize the PDF automatically.
So, please “Uncheck” these properties
before your printing out.
