Embroidery Frame Position And Movement; Embroidery Frames That Cannot Be Used For Embroidering; Moving To The Correct Position - Brother 882-T51 Operation Manual

Embroidery Frame Position and Movement

The following provides information concerning the embroidery frame when operating the embroidery
machine.
■ Embroidery frames that cannot be
used for embroidering
As explained on page 42, the embroidery frame
indicators at the top of the screen show the
embroidery frames that can be used to embroider
the currently selected pattern.
Embroidery frames with an embroidering area
smaller than the pattern cannot be used. In addition,
the embroidery frame cannot be used if the
embroidery is smaller than the embroidering area
but is positioned so that it extends out of the
embroidering area of the frame.
Embroidery frames with an embroidering area
smaller than the pattern
Patterns that extend out of the embroidering area
of the frame
In either of these cases, a message appears on the
embroidery machine, warning that the embroidery
frame must be changed.
A message indicating that the embroidery frame be
replaced may appear even if no embroidery frame is
installed.
The embroidery machine detects which embroidery
frame is installed according to the position of the left
arm of the embroidery frame holder. Therefore, the
embroidery frame size is determined by the position
of the left arm, even if the embroidery frame is not
actually installed.
OTHER BASIC PROCEDURES

■ Moving to the correct position

If the center of the embroidery frame is at the needle
drop point in the embroidering area, the embroidery
frame is correctly positioned, in other words, at the
starting position before embroidering.
If the embroidery frame is changed, the next frame
that is installed will not be correctly positioned.
For example, if the large embroidery frame is
replaced with the small frame, the following will
occur.
1 Center of embroidery frame at the correct position
2 Needle position when the embroidery frame is
replaced
In order to correct the misalignment of this
embroidery frame, the embroidery frame
automatically moves to the correct position when
any of the following are performed.
• The embroidery machine is turned on.
The embroidery frame will move.
• The embroidering screen is displayed.
The embroidery frame will not move if it is correctly
positioned.
If the pattern extends out of the embroidering area for
the frame, a message appears, indicating that the
embroidery frame should be replaced. Either replace
the embroidery frame or return to the pattern editing
screen and move the embroidering position.
