Adding Machine Commands to the Sequence
Machine commands can be added to the color sequence to make designs
a bit easier to sew. For example, on an especially stitch-heavy design, an
Pause command may be placed in the middle to have the machine stop
and wait for the embroiderer to change the bobbin. This would prevent
the machine from running out of bobbin thread in the middle of a critical
design element.
Appliqué
The Appliqué command is placed in between color blocks. This
will cause the machine to move the hoop out as far as possible
with the needle still within the hoop limits.
This command is often placed after the placement stitch in an appliqué
design. This allows the embroiderer to have easier access to the materi-
al without taking the hoop off of the machine. It also stops the machine
automatically instead of the embroiderer watching the sew-out to stop the
machine and place the appliqué material.
After an Appliqué command has stopped the machine, starting the ma-
chine will move the hoop back into place and continue sewing the design.
To place an Appliqué command into the sequence:
1. Locate where in the sequence you would like the machine to stop.
2. Drag the appliqué icon down into the color sequence where need-
ed. Notice that the color blocks will shift to either side to allow
room for the command.
3. Release the appliqué icon. The command is now in the color sequence.
To remove an Appliqué command from the color sequence:
1. Drag the Appliqué command up away from the color sequence.
2. Once off of the sequence, release the command to delete it.
