A border can either consist of several
small motifs or long sequenced designs.
With continuous designs, the end point of
one sequence very often is also the
starting point of the next sequence. EC on
PC will help you to easily find the exact
joining position, even if the fabric needs
rehooping.
Preparation:
With border embroidery, a line along the
border is usually marked on the fabric.
Use the template to hoop the fabric,
matching the marked line with one of the
vertical lines on the template.
Embroidering:
• start embroidery software
• open the design
• the start of the design is marked with a
circle and
the end with a cross
• mark the starting point of the design on
the fabric as required
• click the «Write to Machine» symbol to
start EC on PC
Upper thread
After repositioning the hoop, the
upper thread must be tightened
by rewinding the spool a little by
hand.
