Stitch width safety
Select this function when using a straight stitch
presser foot to lock the needle in center position for
all stitches, preventing damage to the needle and/or
presser foot.
When turning on the machine with this setting
activated and for every stitch selection that is not
a straight stitch, a pop-up informs you that it is set
to straight stitch. Deselect stitch width safety to go
back to normal sewing.
Note: Twin needle and stitch width safety cannot be used
at the same time.
Cut jump stitches
Your machine features the automatic function
Cut jump stitches. This function saves you time
trimming after the embroidery is completed. When
Cut jump stitches is selected your machine will trim
the top jump stitch thread and pull the thread end
to the underside of the fabric as you embroider.
Note: Your machine will also cut the thread after you
have changed to a new color. Hold the thread end when
you start embroidering again, so that you can easily
remove the thread end when cut.
Designs marked with this symbol are
programmed for Cut jump stitches. Jump stitch
trim commands can be added to any design using
the
5D™
Organizer Software, included with your
machine.
Automatic thread snips
When selected, the automatic thread snips is
activated. The threads are cut automatically and
the presser foot raises at color changes or when
an embroidery is finished. When deselected, no
automatic thread snips will be performed.
Timer
Displays the total sewing and embroidery time of
your machine. Touch the icon to reset the timer.
Automatic presser foot lift
When selected, the automatic presser foot lift is
activated. The presser foot will raise to pivot height
for example when stopping with the needle in the
down position. When deselected, the presser foot
will stay lowered even if the machine stops with the
needle in down position.
Options for feed dogs
Touch to open a pop-up with three options.
The default setting is auto (recommended).
Changes to the default setting are not retained once
the machine has been turned off. Your machine
automatically raises or lowers the feed dogs,
depending on the stitch/technique selected.
For example, the feed dogs lower automatically in
free-motion or embroidery modes, when the button
sewing stitch is selected or when using the Presser
foot extra lift. When a new stitch/technique is
selected, the feed dogs come up automatically when
you start sewing.
Select up to set the feed dogs to remain raised for all
sewing.
Select down to set the feed dogs to remain lowered
for all sewing.
AutoSave current state
When AutoSave current state is selected, the
machine will save current state periodically
while embroidering and also when you stop
embroidering.
The information about the embroidery will be saved
even after switching the machine off.
Note: If AutoSave current state is selected it can take longer
to go from Embroidery edit to Embroidery stitch-out.
