| |
| − | Press ‘Menu’ twice until you see the icon for Perimeter Trace
| |
| − | Press ‘D’ under the Perimeter Trace Button and watch for the limits of the design placement. If you need to adjust the position of your design, use the Jog keys and retry the Perimeter Trace until you are satisfied.
| |
| − | If your design cannot be positioned so that all four corners of the Perimeter Trace are well within the hoop, remove the hoop and choose a larger one. Repeat the Perimeter Trace function to confirm placement.
| |
| − | If the needle or presser foot hit the edge of the hoop, both your item and the machine will be damaged and you should not attempt to continue until the machine is repaired.
| |
| − | Check the Speed
| |
| − | The Barudan BENT operates at between 200 and 800 stitches per minute. The faster the stitch speed, the more tension is introduced and the greater the possibility for errors or thread breakage. The machine is older and if you select a speed over 625, both the machine and the floor of the loft will shake. Stitching at around 600 is fine for standard weight fabrics. Anything heavy or delicate should be done at a lower speed.
| |
| − | Begin embroidering your design by selecting the ‘Play’ button.
| |
| − | When the design has been completed, or you decide to abandon the attempt,
| |
| − | select the ‘Cut’ icon,
| |
| − | FIRST - Cut the bobbin thread by selecting ‘A’ below the ‘Cut Bobbin’ icon.
| |
| − | SECOND – If the top thread was not cut at the end of the file, choose ‘Cut,’ then ‘Play’ so that the thread will be cut and the tail stored in the Velcro bar.

| |
| − | Take the bobbin case out, remove any loose thread or other debris from the area within the arm, and place 1-2 drops of oil at the base as shown. More than this will mean than excess oil will get onto the thread and the next project.
| |
| − | Delete your file from Memory
| |
| − | Return the needle threaders, tweezers, and applique scissors to the storage box.
| |
| − | Check the surrounding area for anything you might have temporarily stashed during your session and return the item(s) to their proper place so the next user can find them easily.
| |
| − | Take a moment to vacuum up all of the thread bits that have fallen to the floor, and put away the iron and ironing board if you have used them.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Barudan is still a powerful tool, but it’s an old machine. Take your time with menus and don’t expect instant changes. Slower is generally better.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The selected needle appears on the screen and with a red dot over its presser foot. IF THESE THINGS DON'T MATCH, DO NOT USE THE MACHINE. CONTACT THE PoC IMMEDIATELY.
