Deleting short stitches
If embroidery data other than our original patterns are used,
the stitch length may be too short, possibly resulting in the
thread or the needle breaking. In order to prevent this
problem from occurring, the machine can be set to delete
stitches with a short stitch length. Stitches with a length less
than that specified in this function, can be deleted.
When the machine is purchased, [0.3] was selected.

Specifying the remaining length of thread

Note
• Even if [Thread Trimming] is set to [ON], this setting
is not applied to the jump stitch trimming of
threads between character patterns. For details on
jump stitch trimming for character patterns, refer to
“Trimming the threads between characters” on
page 47.
Memo
• The length of jump stitch trimming cannot be
specified to Tajima embroidery data (.dst).
Note
• You need to set the jump number same as the
number that was used when the particular Tajima
data was created.
If the jump number is not matched, either
unexpected trim or no trimming at trim expected
point will happen.
Note
• If the setting is changed from the previous setting,
the new setting is applied to the subsequent
embroidery.
