Embro
ActivStitch™
Technology
1. Thread Tension
2. Thread Metering
When the
ActivStitch™
technology feature is selected,
your machine will automatically choose the best way to
control the upper thread, by thread metering or thread
tension, based on your selected stitch and settings.
Thread metering automatically and continuously
measures the fabric thickness to meter the correct
amount of thread for the selected stitch. When using
thread tension, the tension discs will keep the correct
amount of tension on the upper thread.
Thread Metering is the recommended setting for
embroidery except when using certain optional
accessories or special techniques which may require the
use of Thread Tension for best results.
