Dee,
That should take care of turning the sequin attachment "on." Make double sure
that the thread is threaded through/behind the bar on the needle clamp. If it
is not, then the sequin will be deflected and the needle will not find the hole
in the sequin and you will have little sequins bouncing loose all over your
hoop.
As far as digitizing for sequins.....things to know that are important:
1. Always use a Style #1 for your Tie-in's and Tie-off's or you will have split
and punctured sequins.
2. You must always edit your sequin pattern after digitizing to check to see if
there are any " off color....kind of a pale yellow" sequins showing up amonst
all the "light pink" ones. If so, these must be moved slightly or deleted, in
some cases, to prevent clipped, nicked, bruised, punctured or split sequins.
This is the "new" vocabulary being applied for digitizing and sewing sequins.
3. Using the "right" color thread, and the "right" look for a tie down stitch,
there are many to choose from, will add greater dimension to the pattern look.
4. Sequins should be the "last thing to sew in a particular pattern and the
design should be digitized that way.....altho.....as in the butterfly
design......one wing sews out, sequins are applied to that side and then the
other wing sews out and then the sequins are applied to that side as the last
thing to sew in that pattern....etc..
As far as your sequin attachment goes....do not forget to use that mechanical
lock out lever, whenever the head is in the up position. Put a note under your
pillow and look at it every night before you go to sleep and every morning when
you wake up. If you don't, you will , at some time, wind up with your needle
case getting knocked off or put into a serious bind with needle bars being
dislodged from the tracking groove. This is "very important to remember!!!"
Never trace a design with the head in the down position!! Same result as above.
Trace with the mechical lock engaged, just to be safe.
It can be a fun device to work with, but if not properly used and/or adjusted
properly, it can be a frustrating experience at best.
