–
After finishing the embroidery design, the machine stops automatically and the threads are cut
automatically.
16.2 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 design at
maximum speed cannot be ensured.
By switching the machine off and on, the optimal embroidery speed is activated.
Prerequisite:
•
The embroidery design is selected.
> Tap «Embroidery Speed».
– The maximum speed is activated.
> Tap «Embroidery Speed» again.
– The optimal speed is activated.
16.3 Adjusting the Upper Thread Tension
The default setting of the upper thread tension is set automatically as soon as a stitch pattern or an
embroidery design 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 (Mettler, Switzerland) is used for the upper and bobbin thread.
When using different types of sewing or embroidery threads, the upper thread tension may vary. Therefore it
may be necessary to adjust the upper thread tension according to the sewing or embroidering project as well
as the desired stitch pattern or the embroidery design individually.
The higher the upper thread tension is set, the tighter the upper thread is tensioned, and the bobbin thread
is pulled deeper into the fabric. When the upper thread tension is low, the upper thread is less tightened,
and the bobbin thread is pulled up less into the fabric.
Alterations of the upper thread tension affect the currently selected stitch pattern and all embroidery
designs. (see page 51) Permanent alterations of the upper thread tension for the sewing mode and for the
embroidering mode (see page 55) can be made in the Setup Program.
Prerequisite:
•
The upper thread tension has been altered in the Setup Program.
