CAUTION
• When using the thread trimming function, do
not use embroidery frame (small). Otherwise,
the presser foot may strike the frame, possibly
causing injuries or damage.
Memo
• If a design has many trims it is recommended to
select a higher jump stitch trim setting in order to
reduce the amount of excess tails on backside of
fabric.
• The higher number of the jump stitch length
selected, the fewer number of times the machine
will trim. In this case, more jump stitches will
remain on the surface of the fabric.
Note
• The correct names and numbers of the thread
colors to be used will not appear. Select the thread
colors depending on those in the appliqué pattern.
• Some appliqué patterns differ from the procedure
described in this manual. For the procedure, refer
to the "Embroidery Design Guide".
