Embroidering Split Embroidery Patterns |

Embroidering Split Embroidery Patterns

This machine has several built-in large-size split embroidery patterns.

Split embroidery patterns are large patterns that are divided into multiple sections. A large pattern can be created by embroidering the connected pattern sections one after the other.

Additional split embroidery patterns can be created in Palette version 7 or later. For details, refer to the manual for Palette.

There are two methods: one uses the built-in camera to connect the patterns and the other connects the patterns manually.

Connecting the Pattern Sections with the Camera

Touch and then select a pattern.
To ensure the entire large-connect pattern can be successfully embroidered, prepare fabric and stabilizer at least 300 mm (approx. 12 inches) longer and wider than total design size.
1. Size of the entire pattern
  - Printable templates of each large-connect design can be downloaded. Visit https://www.babylock.com/machine-support-and-updates and choose your machine model. These templates will assist with positioning the patterns. Do not enlarge or shrink the page.
  - To embroider split embroidery patterns created with Palette, retrieve the pattern from USB media and so on. For details on recalling patterns, refer to Retrieving Embroidery Patterns. Check the entire pattern size with Palette.
Touch the whole pattern icon to connect the pattern sections with the camera. And then touch [Set].
- To connect the pattern sections without using the camera, refer to Connecting the Pattern Sections Manually.
Embroider the first pattern.
Touch [OK].
- Do not remove the fabric from the embroidery frame.
Touch .
Check the pattern arrangement, and then touch [OK].
Since each built-in pattern has been properly arranged, there is no need to move it.
Touch [OK].
Affix the first embroidery positioning sticker onto the fabric within the red lines by using both hands to press down on each corner of the sticker. Affix the sticker with the large circle to the top as shown on machine. Then, touch [Scan].
- The camera detects the first embroidery positioning sticker.
  - If any of the following messages appear, reattach the embroidery positioning sticker firmly in the correct position.
Affix the second embroidery positioning sticker to the fabric as described in step 8, and then touch [Scan].
- The camera detects the second embroidery positioning sticker.
While making sure that the two embroidery positioning stickers do not peel off, remove the embroidery frame from the machine, and then rehoop the fabric.
Be sure to hoop the fabric so the next pattern and both the embroidery positioning stickers are within the embroidery area.
1. Embroidery area
2. If a built-in large-size split embroidery pattern is selected, and depending on the embroidery frame size being used, a scale may appear on the screen.
3. Embroidery positioning stickers
4. Distance between the embroidery positioning stickers
  - In order to cleanly connect the first and second patterns, make sure that the distance between the embroidery positioning stickers (distance between the centers of the large circles) is the same before and after rehooping the fabric. If the distance is not the same, the fabric may not be taut. At this time, do not correct the distance by moving a sticker.
  - If the following message appears after step 11, rehoop the fabric so that the distance is the same as that displayed. And then touch [Scan].
  - If the following message appears, rehoop the fabric so that the next pattern and both the embroidery positioning stickers are within the embroidery area as indicated in the screen.
    If problem persists, the machine may not detect the embroidery positioning stickers. Check the following:
    - Make sure nothing obstructs the embroidery positioning sticker.
    - Set the fabric into the embroidery frame correctly.
    - Adjust the brightness of the lighting in the room or the machine.
  - For best results, if fabric puckers, iron the wrong side of the fabric to smooth out before rehooping. At this time, do not iron over or remove the embroidery positioning stickers.
Reattach the embroidery frame and touch [Scan].
Touch [OK], and then remove the stickers.
- With a built-in large-size split embroidery pattern, if the distance between the embroidery positioning stickers (distance between the centers of the large circles) differs by a few millimeters before and after the fabric is rehooped, the pattern will be automatically resized.
Embroider the second pattern.
Embroider the remaining patterns in the same way.

Connecting the Pattern Sections Manually

Touch and then select a pattern.
Select section to be embroidered.

Embroider the first pattern.
- The pattern and alignment stitching are embroidered.
Touch [OK].
Select the next pattern, and then touch [Embroidery].
Rehoop the fabric. Adjust the position and angle for the next pattern so that the alignment stitching embroidered with the first pattern and the needle position for the next pattern are aligned. For this example, touch , select the upper-left needle position, and then touch [OK].
- For best results, if fabric puckers, iron the wrong side of the fabric to smooth out before rehooping.
Touch [Layout], and then adjust the position and angle for the next pattern so that the needle position is aligned with the alignment stitching embroidered with the first pattern.
To adjust the position of the pattern, touch .
To adjust the angle of the pattern, touch .
1. Alignment stitching
In the same way, select the lower-left needle position, and then adjust the position and angle of the next pattern so that the needle aligns with the thread mark embroidered with the first pattern.
Embroider the second pattern.
Embroider the remaining patterns in the same way as with the second pattern.
Remove the thread marks.
