bar to the embroidering position.
Memo
• In the embroidering screen, a blue frame appears
around the thread information box of the selected

easy to re-thread by cutting the thread currently
being used between the spool and the thread guide
above the spool. Place the new spool on the spool
pin and tie the end of the new thread to the end of
the previous thread. Then pull the thread through to
the needle (page 92).
