• Print the plan view on paper.
• Print 1 copy of the picture on the printable fabric
in a ink jet printer. Use the plan view as a guide to
hoop the fabric correctly.
• Hoop a tear away stabilizer. The first colour is
cross marks that you embroider on the stabilizer,
this will be an aid for you to position the fabric
righ. Place the picture according to the plan view,
and baste in the hoop.
• To check if you have positioned it correctly use the
step stitch-by-stitch function on your embroidery
machine, and step forward to the center of the first
alignment cross. Compare the needle position to the
position of the cross on the plan view. If they do not
match, use the position buttons on the machine to
move the needle to the correct position. Step forward
through the other crosses in the same way. When
the alignment is correct, select the next color in the
embroidery and start to stitch out the embroidery.
Use colours according to the colour scheme.
(-If you have a 2170, 2144 or a 2140 you can use
the precise positioning to position the picture correctly.)
