Embroidering a Pattern

  1. Prepare embroidery threads of the colors shown on the screen.

    1. Embroidery color order
    2. Cursor

    The [+] cursor moves over the pattern, showing which part of the pattern is being embroidered.

  2. Thread the machine for the first color.

    Upper Threading

    Make sure that the bobbin wound with bobbin thread is installed before attaching the embroidery frame.

  3. Lower the presser foot, then press the “Start/Stop” button to start embroidering.

    • When the first color is completely embroidered, the machine will automatically trim the threads and stop. The embroidery foot will then automatically be raised.
      On the embroidery color order display, the next color will move to the top.
    • If you want to get more attractive finishes, try the procedures below;
      • After 5-6 stitches, press the “Start/Stop” button again to stop the machine.
      • Trim the excess thread at the beginning of the pattern. If the excess thread tail is under the embroidery foot, raise the embroidery foot, then trim the excess thread.
    • If there is thread left over from the beginning of embroidering, it may be embroidered over as you continue embroidering the pattern, making it very difficult to deal with the thread after the pattern is finished. Trim the threads at the beginning of each thread change.

  4. Remove the upper thread for the first color from the machine. Thread the machine with the next color.

  5. Repeat the same steps for embroidering the remaining colors.

    1. Current stitch numbers/Total stitch numbers
    2. Current time/Total time
    3. Part of pattern to be embroidered next
    4. Embroidered colors/Total colors
    • When the last color is embroidered, [Finished embroidering] will appear on the display. Touch [OK], and the display will return to the original screen.

    The thread trimming function is originally set to trim excess thread jumps (threads linking parts of the pattern, etc.). Depending on the type of thread and fabric that are used, an end of upper thread may remain on the surface of the fabric at the beginning of the stitching. After embroidering is finished, cut off this excess thread.
    If the setting has been turned off, trim the excess thread jumps using scissors after the pattern is finished. Refer to “Using the Thread Trimming Function (Jump Stitch Trim)” for information on the thread trimming function.
