Perform checking before starting embroidery..
To prevent the presser foot (1) from interference with the lid frame (2), make a space of 15 mm or more between
the bottom part of the visor (3) and the base of embroidery design (4). Using the presser foot (1with interference
with the lid frame (2) could cause damage of the machine and displacement of design.
Embroidering to the vicinity of top part of cap will cause needle plate or
rotary hook cover to touch the inner part of cap and result in design
displacement. Check embroidery space, and then perform working.
