Note
● The embroidery frame indicators show all embroidery frame sizes in which the embroidery pattern
can be sewn. Be sure to use an embroidery frame of the most suitable size. If the embroidery frame
that is used is too large, the pattern may be misaligned or the fabric may pucker.
● All genuine embroidery frames that can be used with PR-600, PR-600II, PR-620 and PR-650 can be
installed on this machine.
● When sewing with a following optional embroidery frame; jumbo frame, border frame, quilt frame
or flat frame, the included table must be installed to the machine.
● Due to the weight of the embroidery frame and fabric it is recommended that the included table be
used, to prevent the frame holder from bending, which may result in the distortion of your design or
machine damage.
