Color Block Sort; Thread Metering/Thread Tension - Pfaff creative sensation Owner's Manual

Color block sort (8)

To sort the color blocks before embroidering, just
touch the color block sort icon. The color block sort
will reduce the number of thread color changes.
If any color overlaps, the color order will remain
the same, even after sorting. The function will also
recognize if a turnable hoop is used. The two sides
will be sorted individually.
The number of color blocks will not change and the
machine will still stop after each color block. To sew
without stopping between the color blocks, use the
color merge function, found in more options.
Note: Color block sort can only be enabled while on the
rst stitch in the embroidery.
Thread metering/ Thread tension
(9)
The ActivStitch™ Technology feature controls the
9
needle thread in two ways: thread tension and
thread metering. The ActivStitch™ Technology
feature improves the correct balance between needle
thread and bobbin thread. It will automatically
use thread metering when possible, to get the best
result.
Thread metering automatically and continuously
8
measures the fabric thickness to portion the correct
amount of thread for the selected stitch. When
using thread tension, the tension discs will keep the
correct amount on tension on the needle thread.
Certain optional accessories, such as PFAFF® Yarn
Couching Foot Set (P/N 820 912-096) require the
use of thread tension for best results. Deselect
ActivStitch™ Technology in Machine settings to
switch to thread tension.
The control visible in embroidery mode (9) will
change between thread metering and thread tension
depending on the setting in Machine settings. Use
the control to adjust the balance between needle
thread and bobbin thread, e.g., when using specialty
thread.
Thread tension/thread metering compensation
If you nd that the thread tension/thread metering
in general is too low or too high, touch the Thread
tension/thread metering compensation icon in the
Machine settings menu and adjust the settings in
the window that appears, see page 3:12.
