When sewing small fonts

For best results when using your embroidery machine to embroider patterns containing small font patterns, follow the recommendations described below.

1. Reduce the thread tension to less than what is used when embroidering normal designs.
2. Sew at a speed slower than what is used when embroidering normal designs.
   (For details on adjusting the thread tension and sewing speed, refer to the instruction manual provided with your embroidery machine.)
3. Do not trim the jump stitches between the characters.
   (For details on setting the machine for thread trimming, refer to the instruction manual for the embroidery machine.)
