Embroidering Patterns

1. Prepare embroidery thread colors as shown on the screen.

   
   1. Embroidery color order
      • Either the thread color name or the thread number appears in this screen, depending on the setting selected in the settings screen. You can also select a thread brand. (Embroidery Settings)
        
      • The automatic thread cutting function and the thread trimming function can be used. (Thread Cutting/Trimming Function)

2. Using the automatic needle threader, thread the machine for the first color.

   

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

   • When the first color is completely embroidered, the machine will stop.
     On the embroidery color order display, the next color will move to the top.
     • A setting in the settings screen can be specified so that pressing the “Start/Stop” button before starting embroidering automatically lowers the embroidery foot. (Embroidery Settings)
       
     • 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 embroidering. If the thread at the beginning of embroidering 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 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. The 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.

6. Cut the excess thread jumps within the color, if necessary.

Thread Cutting/Trimming Function

The automatic thread cutting function (End Color Trim) will cut the thread at the end of embroidering each color.

The thread trimming function (Jump Stitch Trim) will automatically trim any excess thread jumps within the color. These functions are initially turned on.

1. Jump stitch

1. On the embroidery screen, touch .

   

2. Turn on or off the thread cutting/trimming function.

   
   1. Turn on or off the automatic thread cutting function (End Color Trim).
   2. Turn on or off the thread trimming function (Jump Stitch Trim).
   3. Touch or to select the length of jump stitch. For example, when the value is set to 25 mm (approx. 1 inch) and the machine will not trim a jump stitch of 25 mm or less before moving to the next stitching.
      • If design has many trims, it is recommended to select a higher jump stitch trim setting in order to reduce the amount of excess tails on backside of fabric.
      • The higher number of the jump stitch length selected, the fewer number of times the machine will trim. In this case, more jump stitches remain on the surface of the fabric.
