Thread breakage during embroidery
Thread breakage during embroidery
Sometimes the upper thread can
either break or run out while you are
embroidering. If this happens, the
sewing computer stops automatically.
If the lower thread breaks or runs
out, only artista 180 stops automa-
tically.
Artista 165 and artista 170 don’t fea-
ture a lower thread control, and so
doesn’t stop automatically when the
lower thread breaks or runs out.
Activate upper and lower thread
control using the Setup program
(see the sewing computer instruction
manual).
