Note:
Precautions for small text
• Reduce the thread tension to less than
what is used when embroidering normal
designs.
• 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.)
• For best results when sewing small font
patterns, do not cut the jump stitches
between the characters. (For details on
setting the machine for thread cutting,
refer to the Instruction Manual for the
embroidery machine.)

Memo:
The Font selector and Text Size selector
appear when on the Tool Box is

character in the Design Page has been
selected.

Note:
Embroidering text
• A font other than small text set to a
small character size may not be
embroidered correctly. We recommend
setting the character size to 10 mm or
more.
• Depending on the design, text using a
TrueType font may not be correctly
converted to an embroidery pattern.
Select a TrueType font where
characters have an even line
thickness, such as with Arial.
