 [dropcap boxed=”accent”]3.[/dropcap] To prepare your HAPPY 15-needle machine for the Long 1-point frame, set the machine up for caps with the cap sewing kit that came with it.

[dropcap boxed=”accent”]7.[/dropcap] The Long 1-point frame allows an impressive 9 inch tall by 3 inch wide sewing field. It allowed us to sew a design along the length of the boot front.

In action! Here’s the machine sewing a nice pattern along the side of the boot.

In this photo, you can see how the boot is supported very easily as it’s sewn on the machine.

Finished product! Notice the nice designs sewn along the length of the boot and along the top.
