Embroider an Endless Design
1. Before attaching the Endless Embroidery Hoop, turn on
the power switch to move the carriage to the embroidery
standby position. Place a full bobbin in the bobbin case,
then replace the bobbin case cover.
2. With the Futura program open, attach the Endless
Embroidery Hoop. From the main menu, select 'File', then
scroll down to 'New'. The screen will display a likeness of
the endless hoop and the sewing feld. It will be necessary
to have the Endless Embroidery Hoop on the machine in
order to use the endless embroidery function. If this hoop
is not on the machine, you will instead see an image of
your machine's large hoop on the PC screen.
3. Select the desired endless embroidery design. The
selected design appears in "ghost form". Right click
outside the hoop area on screen. When the pop-up menu
appears, left click on Apply.
You can load one of the Endless Hoop designs that come
with the 'Design Library'. From the main menu select
'Create' and then 'Design Library'. Select 'for Endless
Hoop' category and choose a design of your liking.
4. From the main menu, click on 'File', then scroll down and
click on 'Transmit to Futura machine' to transfer the data to
the machine.
Once you have transferred the data to the machine, a dialogue
box appears called 'Offset Preview'. You will see your selected
design in the center within a white background area, with the
alignment stitches above and below the design. You will also
see images of the same design both above and below the
center design.
The 'Offset Preview' function allows you to change the offset
distance, while previewing how the result will look even before
you stitch out the segments. Altering the offset will allow you to
have the endless hoop segments intersect by decreasing the
distance between them, or leave a gap between the segments
by increasing the distance between them.
Offset distance can only be applied within the boundaries
of the Endless Hoop embroidery area
(the white background display area).
The movement of the slide bar moves the
placement of the bottom L-shaped alignment stitches.
These alignment stitches can only be within the Endless
Hoop embroidery area.
