Color Change
With the Color Change
function, you can define
how thread changes are handled during embroidery.
This setting overwrites the setting on the Stitchout
Summaryscreen. The following options are available:
n Multi Color
: The embroidery design is stitched
with multiple colors as indicated in the saved
design.
After each color, the machine stops so that you can
change the threads.
n Single Color
: The embroidery design is
stitched with the thread that is currently threaded,
without changing threads.
n Reduce Thread Changes
: The embroidery
design is regrouped so that the fewest possible
color changes need to be made.
Use this function when sewing Customizable Quilt
Designs to avoid multiple starts and stops.
If this function is activated, the colors are also
regrouped in edit mode.
Embroidery Information
The following information about the embroidery
process is displayed in the Embroidery Information area:
n Color: Sequence number of the current color.
n Stitch: Current stitch number/Total stitch number.
n Total Time: Estimated stitch time for the whole
design.
n Color Time: Estimated stitch time for the current
color.
High Speed
Embroidery designs are stitched out at the optimum
speed for an even embroidery pattern. The optimum
embroidery speed depends on the hoop used. With the
High Speed
function, you can increase the
embroidery speed up to the saved maximum speed.
Depending on the type of stitch, e.g. triple stitch, the
function may result in an irregular stitch pattern.
This function is only available once you have started
stitching out using the Start/Stop
button.
Stitch
With the Stitch
function, you can return to a
specific point in the embroidery after a thread break or
other interruption in the embroidery process in order to
continue stitching from that point. The machine
displays the needle position at the time the process was
canceled.
You can move stitch by stitch or use the lower multi-
function knob to move across larger sections of the
design. The laser makes it easier to recognize the
current stitch.
If you wish to return to a specific stitch, you can enter
the number of the stitch.
Summary
With the Summary
function, you can cancel
stitchout in order to modify the current embroidery
settings in the Stitchout Summary screen.
Edit
With the Edit
function, you can cancel stitchout in
order to edit the embroidery design.
Current Color
The color bar shows the current thread color with the
thread brand and number.
If the machine is sewing, the slider shows the current
needle position. If the machine is not sewing, you can
move the slider to move the needle to a desired
position.
View
With the View
function, you can modify the size of
the embroidery design in the design preview.
