Chenille Type of embroidery in which a loop stitch is formed on the topside of
the fabric. Uses heavy yarns of wool, cotton or acrylic which are
pulled up from reverse side of the fabric using a hook. Also known as

Combine Jumps A setting that helps you avoid unnecessary trims in a design. When
the embroidery machine has to go to the next part of a design and
that position is more than 12 mm away, a jump stitch is used. If
three or more jump stitches are used, the embroidery machine
activates the trimming mechanism unless Combine Jumps is
selected.
Complex Fill A digitizing capability that allows void areas to be designated as
such when mapping perimeter points, allowing digitizing of fill areas
without sectioning.
