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 76 for information on the
thread trimming function.
CAUTION
• Do not press
the threads have been cut. Doing so could
tangle the thread or break the needle and
damage the machine.
• Do not press
there is no fabric set in the machine or during
machine operation. The thread may tangle,
possibly resulting in damage.
