■ Saving the design
The entire design is saved as a single file
(.pes).
■ Writing the design to an original
card
A design for a multi-position hoop is created
by considering the pattern in each hoop
installation position as one pattern, then
combining them.
Therefore, when this type of design is written
to an original card, one multi-position hoop
design is saved as a combination of multiple
patterns.
: This pattern is sewn when the hoop is
installed at the top installation position
(position a).
: This pattern is sewn when the hoop is
installed at the middle installation position
(position b).
: This pattern is sewn when the hoop is
installed at the bottom installation position
(position c).
Therefore, the frame installation position
sewing order for the pattern shown above is b,
a, then c.
Notes on embroidering using the multi-
position hoop
• Before embroidering your design, sew a
trial sample of the design on a scrap piece
of fabric from your design, 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.
• For more ways to stabilize large designs,
refer to “Attaching stabilizer to the fabric” on
page 178
• 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.
b Memo:
If the file size or the number of color changes
is larger than the specified number, or if one of
the patterns does not completely fit within an
embroidery area, the message “Please
change the object size or position. Do you
want to save the data anyway?” appears.
