Fast frames

[Dan*dy Designs]

I tried using a fast frame last night, and the center of the hoop was about one inch away from the edge of the frame. When I traced the design, it showed the design was outside the sewing area. Why is the center of the frame so far off?

Thanks!

1) your design was not centered in Design Shop in the 'window'.
Go back and click on the 'centerline' button and see. If it isn't, 'view, select all' and move it until it is dead center
2) 'hoop' itself may have been moved on your last job to lineup something, and you never reset it.
Click on 'center hoop'
3) in amaya OS window, 'center design' after centering hoop
Any one, or all three of these, should bring it back to center.
We learned to always center the design in Design Shop before 'loading' it, then centering hoop, center design, and trace design.
And, you may have the wrong hoop size selected-double check that.

I have to click on the "center hoop" button in OS whenever I use the fastframes. Follow signmans steps above and it should clear right up.

ALWAYS trace your design without the garment or backing first with a fast frame (naked frame). Will save you lots of damage to your machine.

Once you trust the settings, you can just do a trace before sewing with the garment and backing in place.
