SECURITY PROGRAM-NEEDLE

Setting the Needle Security Program can be very helpful in sewing. It can prevent needle breakage
and damage to your machine or Presser Foot. The function remains active even when the machine
is turned off and on.
For more information on needles, refer to Reference-Sewing
Machine Needles on Pages 53 and 54.

SECURITY PROGRAM-STITCH PLATE SELECTION

Setting the Stitch Plate Security Program can be very helpful in sewing. If an inappropriate nee-
dle or stitch is selected, the machine will limit the width of any stitch to prevent needle breakage.
The function remains active even when the machine is turned off and on.

1. Touch the Needle Selection icon. A display will appear.
2. Select the Standard Needle.
Needle Minder: Store the needle size and type of the needle
selected.
Specialty Needles: When selecting a specialty needle (such
as a double needle) the Stitch Width is limited automatically.
This prevents the inserted specialty needle from hitting
the Presser Foot or the Stitch Plate. This setting will remain
active even after the machine is turned off.
Do you know:
• On some models, Creative
Consultant recommends the
needle according to the fabric
and technique.
1. Touch the Stitch Plate Selection icon.
2. Select the 9 mm Stitch Plate (5.5 mm for the B 735 and
535) so that decorative stitches can be stitched at their
maximum width.
0 mm or 0 mm/Cut Plate: This plate is used for
embroidery. Make sure that the machine Stitch Plate
has been changed before programming another plate.
Many quilters prefer to use this Stitch Plate when
piecing.
Punch Plate: This plate is used when doing Punchwork
on either the sewing or embroidery side of the 9 mm
machines.
