Nominal dimensions describe the frame. They do not establish the usable embroidery area or attachment compatibility.
Find the machine name or code on its label or manual. Use the table’s model column to narrow your choices; do not start with a desired frame size.
SAMF180N and SAMF180 are different frames. DIME LM1 is SH00A1M; LM6 is SH00A6M. The two DIME frames are nominally 5 × 7 but have different machine mappings.
For the selected product, read the full conditions and maker instructions below. Confirm frame selection and usable stitching area for your design before purchasing.
