16.1 Embroidering via the button «Start/Stop»
In case of a power cut the embroidery process is interrupted. After the restart the machine goes to the
position which was embroidered last.
> Push the button «Start/Stop» to start the embroidery machine.
– The machine will stop after about 7 stitches.
> Raise the embroidery foot.
> Cut the bobbin thread according to the animation in the display and touch the icon «OK» to confirm.
> Lower the embroidery foot.
> Press the button «Start/Stop» to continue embroidering.
16.2 Increasing the embroidery speed
To ensure the best embroidery quality, the speed when embroidering is reduced depending on the
embroidery position. Choose between the two options to either embroider at optimal or maximum speed.
Standard = optimal speed. It has to be considered that the quality of the embroidered embroidery motif at
maximum speed cannot be ensured.
By switching the machine off and on, the optimal embroidery speed is activated.
Prerequisite:
• The embroidery motif is selected.
> Touch the icon «Embroidery speed».
– The maximum speed is activated.
> Touch the icon «Embroidery speed» again.
– The optimal speed is activated.
16.3 Adjusting the upper thread tension
The basic setting of the upper thread tension is provided automatically as soon as a stitch pattern or an
embroidery motif is selected.
The upper thread tension is set optimally at the BERNINA factory and the machine has been tested.
Metrosene-/Seralon thread size 100/2 (Company Mettler, Switzerland) is used for upper and bobbin thread.
When of using other types of sewing or embroidery threads, the optimal tension may vary. Therefore it may
be necessary to adjust the upper thread tension according to the sewing or embroidering project as well as
the desired stitch pattern or the embroidery motif individually.
The higher the upper thread tension, the tighter the upper thread which means that the bobbin thread is
pulled up to the top of the fabric. When the upper thread tension is low, the upper thread is less tightened
which means that the bobbin thread is pulled up less.
