       • When saving a pattern (that contains an imported motif stitch pattern or decorative fill pattern) as pattern drawing data, it can only be saved in the machine’s memory.
       • When recalling a saved design, the motif stitch pattern or decorative fill pattern currently saved under the assigned pattern number is imported. (If the custom stitch pattern that was assigned to a saved design has been replaced by another custom stitch pattern, the original stitch pattern will not be recalled. It will be replaced with the replacement stitch pattern.)
       • If all custom stitch patterns are cleared, the custom stitch pattern that was assigned to a saved design will not be recalled. It will be replaced with a default stitch pattern. Patterns with deleted custom motif patterns will be recalled with a zigzag stitch. Patterns with deleted custom decorative fill patterns will be recalled with a standard fill stitch.
       • If the design is saved on the embroidery edit screen after touching [Set] on stitch settings screen, the custom motif and decorative fill pattern will be preserved.
