6.2 Increasing the embroidery speed
To ensure the best embroidery quality, the speed when embroidering is reduced depending on the
embroidery position. Choose between the two options to either embroider at optimal or maximum speed.
Standard = optimal speed. It has to be considered that the quality of the embroidered embroidery motif at
maximum speed cannot be ensured.
By switching the machine off and on, the optimal embroidery speed is activated.
Prerequisite:
• The embroidery motif has been selected and the embroidering has started.
> Touch the icon «Embroidery speed».
– The maximum speed is activated.
> Touch the icon «Embroidery speed» again.
– The optimal speed is activated.
6.3 Adjusting the upper thread tension
The default setting of the upper thread tension is determined automatically after an embroidery motif is
selected.
The upper thread tension is set optimally at the BERNINA factory and the machine has been tested.
Metrosene-/Seralon thread size 100/2 (Company Mettler, Switzerland) is used for upper and bobbin thread.
