Embroidery Setting Mode
Press the embroidery setting mode key (refer to page 97).
q
Auto Tension
The auto thread tension level can be adjusted with the
“+” or “–” key. Increase the value when using the same
threads on the bobbin and needle.
w
Embroidery Foot Height
The machine measures fabric thickness and
automatically sets the presser foot to the optimum height.
However, you can fine tune the foot height according to
fabric material and/or other sewing conditions by pressing
the “+” or “–” key. The adjustable range is 0 mm to 4 mm.
You can select the type of embroidery foot to set the
embroidery foot height from P, PC-1 or PC-2 by pressing
the corresponding key.
e
One Stitch Stop ON/OFF
When this function is turned on, the machine sews one
stitch and stops automatically with the “One Stitch Stop”
message displayed on the screen, so that you can bring
the bobbin thread up before sewing.
r
Maximum Speed Setting
The maximum embroidery sewing speed can be set from
400 to 1200 spm in 100 spm intervals by pressing the “+”
or “–” key. (Sewing speed can be varied with the speed
control slider even while running the machine.)
NOTE:
Reduce the sewing speed when sewing patterns
with narrow zigzag stitches that tend to warp at high
speeds.
t
Consecutive Color Grouping ON/OFF
If an imported stitch data file or design files of a pattern
combination contain consecutive sections in the same
color, these sections are automatically grouped together
as one section when opening the file or saving the
pattern combination as a file or going to the Ready to
Sew window. This function is invalid when combining the
built-in designs and externally sourced designs.
Turn this option off if you do not wish to group the
sections together.
Press the next page key to go to the next menu.

thread breakage sensor.
