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.
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 .
Column Stitch
Formed by closely arranged zig-zag stitches. Often used to form
borders. See also Satin Stitch .
Density
Density is the number of stitches covering a given area. Large
letters, large fill areas and textured fabrics, generally need
higher densities. The reverse can be true as well.
There are two measuring systems used in calculating density:
Imperial and Metric. The Imperial system measures density in
stitches per inch (spi). 65spi means 65 stitches in a 1 inch
(linear) area. The Metric system measures density in
embroidery points (pt). Points refers to the distance between
each thread.
