Instruction Manual
Automatic Trim
An automated machine process that cuts the top and bobbin
thread when directed by data stored in a design file. This
function is usually used before a jump or a color change. This
process eliminates the need for manual trimming.
Baseline
A line on which lettering segments sit.
Bitmap Images
Paint and image-editing software such as Corel Photo-Paint and
Adobe PhotoShop generate bitmap images, also called raster
images. Each pixel in a bitmap image has a specific location
and color value assigned to it. Bitmap images reproduce the
subtle shading found in continuous-tone images, such as
photographs. Bitmap images are resolution dependent. They
represent a fixed number of pixels; as a result, they can lose
detail and appear jagged if they are scaled on-screen.
Color Palette
A collection of thread colors for a particular brand of thread.
Color Stop
A command that instructs an embroidery machine to stop
sewing a design in order to change its thread colors. Also
known as
Color Change
.

borders. See also
