Embroidery 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.
Deselect the deLuxe™ Stitch System to switch to thread
tension. The control for adjusting thread portioning/thread
tension, will change depending on the active stitch and
whether the deLuxe™ Stitch System is selected or not in
settings.

Embroidery Foot Type

Select either the Sensor Q-Foot or floating foot. It is very
important that the correct setting is selected for the attached
embroidery foot.
For best embroidery results, select and use the Sensor Q-
Foot and the deLuxe™ stitch system. This is strongly
recommended. Some specific specialty techniques and/or
accessories do not support the use of the Sensor Q-Foot, e.g.
yarn couching and felting.
When the Sensor Q-Foot is selected the machine will lower
the foot to hold the fabric at each stitch. When the floating
foot is selected the machine will lower the foot to a pivot
height above the fabric. When using a floating foot the
presser foot height can be adjusted for improved
performance when using different weights of material and/or
embroidery threads.
Note: The embroidery foot type will automatically be reset to Sensor Q-
Foot at the start of a new project from the JoyOS ADVISOR™
feature. Make sure you attach the Sensor Q-Foot or change the setting
to floating foot (e.g. R-Foot).

Twin Needle Options

When a twin needle size is selected the deLuxe™ Stitch
System feature will automatically use thread tension. When
embroidering with a twin needle the straight stitch plate
needs to be removed as it cannot be used with a twin needle.
The twin needle setting will automatically be set when
loading a twin needle embroidery project from the project
menu.
Note: It is very important to activate the twin needle setting when
embroidering with a twin needle to prevent damage to the machine.
