How to use the CutWork Tool on the Deco 340
1. Download a CutWork design directly to the
machine or to a USB stick. As with any design
for the Deco, be sure to copy the design to the EmbF5 folder.
2. Hoop the fabric and stabilizer
(multiple layers work best for CutWork).
Thread the machine. Then stitch
out the placement line/basting stitch for the design.
The placement line/basting stitch holds the layers together for a better cut.

3. When the machine stops for the first thread change, remove the needle and insert the CutWork tool. Unscrew the screw at the needle bar quite a bit to accommodate the CutWork tool. Use the stitch plate and presser foot that come with the machine.

4. Go to Settings on the machine. Push the arrow button (on the left, the one
outlined with a diamond). Using the page
scroll icon, scroll to Thread Check and turn off (this is on the 4th
page).

5. This machine will not give a prompt to move the blade positions on the CutWork tool like the bigger machines do. Just move the blade through positions 1-4 (on the tool) each time the machine stops for a color change. As in normal embroidery, X out of the screen at each color change and press the start button to continue.

| Work through the design steps as with any typical embroidery design |
