Pop-up Messages in Embroidery Stitch-Out

To make your experience as convenient as possible, your machine sometimes communicate with you using pop-up messages.
Those messages can contain warnings, recommendations, information or prompt you to perform an action.
Below, some of the messages that can appear are listed and explained.
The Embroidery Arm Needs to Calibrate
When the embroidery unit is attached, a pop-up message will
appear and inform you to slide off the hoop and clear the
machine area for calibrating the embroidery arm. You will
also be reminded to disengage the IDF System and attach a
suitable embroidery foot.
It is very important to remove the hoop, otherwise the hoop or
the embroidery unit may be damaged while calibrating.
Bobbin Thread Low
When the bobbin thread is running low, a pop-up message
appears giving you advance notice that you will soon need to
change the bobbin. This gives you an opportunity to plan
when you want to change your bobbin.
It is possible to embroider until the thread has completely
run out. Without closing the pop-up, touch the Start/Stop
button, on the front of the machine or the foot control to
continue embroidering.
Touch cancel to remain at the current stitch position.
Touch OK to move the hoop to the center position. The
hoop position pop-up opens. Replace the empty bobbin with
a full one. Touch current position in the pop-up and pull back
any excess length of needle thread. Touch the start/stop
button to continue embroidering.
Cut and Remove the Thread Tail
After changing the thread, the machine will sew a few stitches
and then stop so you can cut the thread tail.
Note: When automatic thread cutter and automatic jump stitch trim
function is selected in embroidery settings, the thread will be cut
automatically and no cut thread tail pop-up will be shown. Simply
remove the thread tail that has been cut.
Change Thread
When it is time to change the upper thread, the machine will
stop. Change the spool of thread and re-thread the machine.
The recommended thread color number is shown in the pop-
up message.
Your Embroidery is Finished
A pop-up message and sound informs you that your
embroidery is finished. When the pop-up is closed the design
will stay loaded in embroidery stitch-out and you can stitch
the same embroidery again, including any changes you have
made.
Attach Hoop
If the hoop attached to the machine does not match the hoop
that is selected and displayed on the screen, the machine will
not embroider. You must change the hoop to the one
displayed on the screen or return to embroidery edit and
select the hoop to match the attached hoop.
The hoop needs to be inserted properly for the machine to
detect it. Slide the hoop connector into the hoop attachment
from front to back until it clicks into place.
Change Needle (Optional Accessory)
Cutwork designs and felting designs require special optional
needle accessories.
When the machine stops and this pop-up message is shown,
insert the corresponding optional needle. Touch OK and
press the start/stop button to resume.
Cutwork designs are marked with a cutwork needle symbol
and felting designs are marked with a felting needle symbol in
the DESIGNER EPIC™ 3 sampler.
Note: Cutwork designs can also be stitched out without using the
cutwork needles. The cutwork area will then have to be cut manually
and the color block for the cutwork needle in the color block list should
be skipped.
Check Upper Thread
The machine stops automatically if the upper thread runs out
or breaks. Re-thread the upper thread from the beginning,
close the pop-up message and then go back a few stitches
using the Step Stitch-by-Stitch control to ensure that the
thread will be secured. Re-start your embroidery.
Attention!
If the machine stops and this pop-up appears on the screen
you cannot continue embroidering. Wait a moment and touch
OK when it is enabled. Check needle size and condition and
check that your machine is threaded correctly.
Auto Smart Save
If a power outage has occurred, you will see this pop-up
message when the machine is restarted. Touch OK in the
pop-up to return to embroidery stitch-out. This will load the
design ready to stitch from approximately the same position it
was interrupted.
Tip: Before starting the embroidery go back a few stitches using the step
stitch-by-stitch to ensure that the threads will be secured.
