Sewing Settings

deLuxe™ Stitch System
When the deLuxe™ Stitch System is selected your machine
will automatically choose the best way to control the upper
thread, by thread portioning or thread tension, based on your
selected stitch and settings. Thread portioning automatically
and continuously measures the fabric thickness to meter the
correct amount of thread for the selected stitch. When using
thread tension, the tension discs will keep the correct amount
of tension on the upper thread.
For best results we recommend you keep this setting selected
except when using specific accessories or special techniques
that do not support thread portioning.

Automatic Presser Foot Lift

When selected, the machine automatically raises the presser
foot in the following situations:
• When stopping with the needle in the down position the
presser foot will automatically raise to pivot height.
• After a thread cut the presser foot will be raised to lift
position.
When deselected, the presser foot will stay lowered, even if
the machine stops with the needle in down position.

Automatic Thread Cutter

When selected, the threads are cut automatically in the
following situations:
• At cut commands in stitches and sequences.
• After sewing a single stitch e.g. a monogram or eyelets.
If deselected, no automatic thread cut will be performed.
Note: Deselect when using optional accessories that are attached in the
two holes in the needle plate just above the bobbin cover, to prevent
damage to the automatic thread cutter knife located under the needle
plate.

Free-Motion Options

Choose between several free-motion options; free-motion
floating, free-motion spring action and free-motion ruler foot.
When one of the free motion options is selected the
corresponding free motion mode will automatically be
selected in sewing mode for all new projects loaded from the
JoyOS ADVISOR™ feature.
It is recommended that you do not set an option for free
motion in sewing settings; choose an option in sewing mode
instead.
