Accessories

Check that the following items are provided. If anything

is missing or damaged, contact your authorized retailer

or Baby Lock Customer Service.

• Continuous border hoop

Since the sewing area can easily be changed

when the continuous border hoop is used,

repeated patterns can be sewn simply by sliding

the fabric. An area of 10 cm × 18 cm (approx.

4 inches × 7 inches) can be embroidered.

• Embroidery sheet

This embroidery sheet is for the continuous

border hoop. It is used to position the fabric after

the embroidering location is determined.

• Operation manual (this guide)

Embroidering with the Continuous

Border Hoop

Since the fabric can easily be repositioned and

rehooped if the continuous border hoop is used, this

frame is useful for embroidering repeated patterns

while sliding the fabric. An added feature of this

frame is that the pressure applied by the upper and

lower frames does not leave an indentation in the

fabric. An area of 10 cm × 18 cm (approx. 4 inches ×

7 inches) can be embroidered.

■Sample Projects Using the Continuous

Border Hoop

We recommend using the continuous border hoop

when embroidery repeated patterns at the edges of

items such as curtains, chair covers, bed covers,

tablecloths and blankets.

CAUTION

• Do not leave the continuous border hoop within the

reach of children, otherwise injuries may result.

Note

• When the continuousborder hoop is notbeing used,

unlock it before storing it.

• For details on the border function, refer to

“Designing Repeated Patterns” in chapter 6 of the

Note

aligned visually can be embroidered cleanly without

the thread mark.

Memo

added according to the direction that the embroidery

is repeated.

If the design direction is rotated, use the following

suggestions.
