The following settings can be set in temporary embroidery

• Thread cut options
deLuxe ™ Stitch System
When the deLuxe ™ stitch system is selected your
DESIGNER EPIC™ will automatically choose the best way
to control the embroidery upper thread based on the design
and the selected settings: thread portioning or thread tension.
For best embroidery results we strongly recommend that you
keep this setting selected and select the spring foot for
embroidery foot type.
When the deLuxe ™ stitch system is selected thread
portioning will be used when the embroidery foot type,
spring foot, is selected unless, e.g. the active color block
indicates a felting color block or a cutwork needle color
block in the color block list.
When the deLuxe ™ stitch system is deselected and/or
embroidery foot type is set for floating foot, thread tension
will be used for all designs and settings.
For some specific special techniques and accessories that
cannot be embroidered with thread portioning, the
deLuxe ™
Stitch System needs to be deselected.
