Precautions for embroidering Small Text
patterns
• Reduce the thread tension to less than
what is used when embroidering normal
designs.
• Sew at a speed slower than what is used
when embroidering normal designs. (For
details on adjusting the thread tension and
sewing speed, refer to the Operation
Manual provided with your embroidery
machine.)
• For best results when sewing small font
patterns, do not cut the jump stitches
between the characters. (For details on
setting the machine for thread cutting,
refer to the Operation Manual for the
embroidery machine.)
b Memo:
The
Attributes
tab (under
Text
) appears
when a small text pattern or the Small Text

a Note:
Only built-in fonts specifically for small text
can be used.
