16.2 Increasing the embroidery speed
To ensure the best embroidery quality, the speed when embroidering is reduced depending on the
embroidery position. Choose between the two options to either embroider at optimal or maximum speed.
Standard = optimal speed. It has to be considered that the quality of the embroidered embroidery motif at
maximum speed cannot be ensured.
By switching the machine off and on, the optimal embroidery speed is activated.
Prerequisite:
•
The embroidery motif is selected.
> Tap «Embroidery speed».
– The maximum speed is activated.
> Tap «Embroidery speed» again.
– The optimal speed is activated.
16.3 Adjusting the upper thread tension
The default setting of the upper thread tension is set automatically as soon as a stitch pattern or an
embroidery motif is selected.
When of using other types of sewing or embroidery threads, the optimal tension may vary. Therefore it may
be necessary to adjust the upper thread tension according to the sewing or embroidering project as well as
the desired stitch pattern or the embroidery motif individually.
The higher the upper thread tension, the tighter the upper thread which means that the bobbin thread is
pulled up to the top of the fabric. When the upper thread tension is low, the upper thread is less tightened
which means that the bobbin thread is pulled up less.
Alteration of the upper thread tension affect the currently selected stitch pattern and all embroidery motifs.
Permanent alterations of the upper thread tension for the Sewing Mode (see page 48) and for the
Embroidering Mode (see page 52) can be made in the Setup Program.
> Tap «Upper Thread Tension».
