Workbook 4—Embroidery Basics
Customizing Designs
Customize embroidery designs using functions found on your embroidery machine. Take an existing design
and make changes to suit your personal tastes, the sewing situation, or the demands of your current project.
With so many functions available on the various BERNINA embroidery machines, it is easy for anyone, no
matter what skill level, to adapt a design for embroidering on garments, craft projects, and items for your
home. Use the functions shown below to customize designs on your particular model of embroidery
machine.
Note: Specific exercises for customizing designs are found on pages 24-27.
On BERNINA models, touch the single/multi-color symbol
If the symbol is active, the machine will not stop at the
color changes and the entire motif will be stitched in one
color.
If the symbol is inactive, the machine will stop at color
changes for thread changes.
On the bernette Chicago, press the Single/Multi-Color
Button on the front of the machine. The onscreen indicator
will show which mode is active.
Single Color Embroidery
To stitch a multi-colored design in one color, set your machine to bypass color changes.

When designs are duplicated, it causes duplicated color stops. After selecting the sewout option, select the
Resequence Icon to group like color changes and consolidate the number of repeated color changes. The
Resequence function only groups colors if it does not interfere with the artistic order of color arrangement.
