Outer Ring

There is a corresponding template for every hoop. The embroidery area is rasterized with 1 cm (0.39 in) squares. The center is marked with hole and cross lines. The required marks can be transferred to the material.

  1. Open the quick-release mechanism on the outer ring.
  3. Remove the inner ring.
  5. Place the embroidery template in the inner ring so that the “bernette” logo is on the right side.
  6. The embroidery template snaps into place in the inner ring.
  8. Place the inner ring on the fabric so that at least 2 cm of fabric extends beyond the inner ring on all sides.
  9. Align the center of the embroidery design with the center of the template.
  10. Place the fabric and the inner ring into the outer ring so that the arrow markings on the two hoops line up.
  12. Slide the two rings into each other so that the fabric does not shift. The inner ring should extend approx. 1 mm below the bottom edge; this prevents the embroidery hoop from touching the stitch plate.
  13. Hoop the fabric in the embroidery hoop and pull it tight.
  14. Close the quick-release mechanism. If a new type of material is used, adjust the pressure by turning the adjusting screw.
  16. Remove the embroidery template from the embroidery hoop.
