Automatic Fix; Stitch Limiting Options; Feed Teeth Options - Viking Designer EPIC User Manual

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.

Automatic FIX

When selected, the machine will automatically activate the
FIX function after a cut has been performed and when a
stitch is selected.

Stitch Limiting Options

Set the machine to either stitch width safety or select the size
of the twin needle to limit the stitch width and stitch
positioning. This will minimize the risk of breaking a needle
when sewing with accessories that do not allow the use of the
enire stitch width.
Stitch Width Safety
When selected, the machine will only allow a centered
straight stitch to prevent damage to the needle, presser foot
and needle plate. Select stitch width safety when using an
accessory that only supports a centered needle position e.g.
straight stitch presser foot. Stitch width safety will
automatically be selected when the Straight Stitch Plate is
attached to the machine and cannot be deselected as long as
the Straight Stitch Plate is attached.
When the Straight Stitch Plate is removed you will be given
the option to keep stitch width safety selected or to deselect
it. When stitch width safety is activated all twin needle sizes
will be disabled as they cannot be used together with stitch
width safety.
Note: The setting are reset at the start of a new project from the JoyOS
advisor™ feature. Always make sure to remove any accessory that
requires this setting or select the setting again after starting a new project.
Twin Needle
When a twin needle size is selected, the stitch width and
stitch position of all stitches are limited according to the
selected twin needle size to prevent damage to the needle,
presser foot and needle plate. In sewing mode the stitch
preview will indicate that a twin needle is selected. When a
twin needle size is selected, the stitch width safety will be
disabled as it cannot be used together with a twin needle.
Note: The setting are reset at the start of a new project from the JoyOS
advisor™ feature. Always make sure to remove any accessory that
requires this setting or select the setting again after starting a new project.

Feed Teeth Options

When auto is selected (recommended) your machine
automatically raises or lowers the feed teeth, depending on
the stitch and other selected settings. For example, the feed
