EMBROIDERING A PATTERN
Memo
• The thread trimming function is originally set to trim
excess thread jumps (threads linking parts of the
pattern, etc.). Depending on the type of thread and
fabric that are used, an end of upper thread may
remain on the surface of the fabric at the beginning
of the stitching. After embroidering is finished, cut
off this excess thread.
If the setting has been turned off, trim the excess
thread jumps using scissors after the pattern is
finished. Refer to page 142 for information on the
thread trimming function.
