Machine Speed Suggestions
While the embroidery machines have extremely fast sew speeds, these
speeds may need to be changed depending on the products or designs
you’re planning to embroider.
When the machines start to sew, they will begin slowly and then rapidly
speed up after the thread has had a couple of stitches to catch.
The machine will sew at the set sew speed if it is possible. However, design
factors may cause the machine to slow down. Longer machine movements
and stitches will cause this. If you hear the machine changing speeds con-
stantly, you may want to lower the set sew speed to even out sew quality.
Machine Speed Application
850-1000 s.p.m. Sewing using the Wide Angle Driver used for caps
and micro (pocket) clamps.
Designs using metallic or specialty threads.
1000-1200 s.p.m. Finer detailed designs, smaller lettering.
1200-1400 s.p.m. Faster production.
These sew speeds are meant as guidelines and should be adjusted as
needed.
Symptoms from Sewing too Fast
Sewing too quickly can result in a few undesirable outcomes. These would
include:
• Thread breaks
• Bobbin pulling to the top
• Poor registration of designs (design details or outlines don’t line up)
These symptoms can also be caused by other settings or applications.
However, if you experience one or more of these symptoms, adjusting your
sew speed could be a possible solution.
