Viewing connectors
JANOME Embroidery Software automatically adds
connectors between objects in a design. When
connectors become long enough to trim, the
software adds tie-in and trim functions. These are
indicated by the symbols shown below.
The MB-4 machine will, by default, tie-off and trim
at the specified positions. This behavior is
alternately known as 'Trim By Jumps', 'Jump Stitch
Cutting' or 'Jump Thread Trimming'. However, the
MB-4 machine also allows you to switch to
automatic machine trimming. This means that,
while the machine will tie off whenever it
encounters a tie-off function, it will only trim
connectors longer than the length specified on the
machine itself, regardless of whether there is a
trim function in the stitch file. Other machines only
have the automatic machine trim function. These
machines ignore any trim data in the stitch file.
Note Old designs which have different connector
settings do not display trim symbols at all in some
cases where the machine actually trims. You can
overcome this by inserting the old design into a
new blank design. The old design will inherit the
new connector settings.
The symbols shown below may also appear and are
helpful in understanding what appears on-screen.
