Color thread table
Additional explanations of the machine’s built-in
color thread table and the custom thread table are
provided below.
Normally, the thread colors in the thread color
sequence display and in the pattern display area
are displayed in the colors of the machine’s built-
in color thread table. The thread color numbers
with these thread colors are displayed with the
thread color number (or the nearest number) for
the brand specified on the first page of the settings
screen. Therefore, the finished embroidery colors
may have a slightly different tinge.
However, since the custom thread table specified
on the change thread color screen in the pattern
editing screen is created by specifying thread
colors by the thread color numbers and color
names from individual brands in the machine’s
built-in color library, the thread table is displayed
with those original thread colors.
If pattern colors changed using the custom thread
table, pattern can be previewed with colors
nearest to the actual embroidered thread colors.
Create color thread tables from the colors of
threads that you have and use them to display the
patterns in your own thread colors.
(Refer to “Creating a custom thread table” on
page 195, and “Choosing a color from the custom
thread table” on page 197 for the change thread
color function.)

embroidery data
Tajima data (.dst) does not contain pattern color
information. The data is created by combining
only shapes.
For example, the following embroidery data
appears as shown below in the Tajima format (.dst)
In order for the parts of the pattern to be
differentiated when Tajima data is used with this
machine, the pattern is displayed with colors
automatically applied in the default thread color
sequence. Since the thread colors are applied
according to the sewing order of the parts,
regardless of the design of the pattern, colors may
be applied that seem unusual for the design, for
example, an orange-colored fruit may be
displayed in blue. LED lights, also indicate colors
according to the sewing order, which may be not
the same thread colors to be sewn.
When using Tajima data, be sure to preview the
sewn image on the screen and change the colors
from the change thread color screen.
It is recommended to try the Manual color
sequence if you use Tajima data very often. Using
the Manual color sequence, you can directly
change the color setting according to your thread
spool setting. Set “Manual Color Sequence” to
“ON” in the settings screen. (Refer to page 132)
