9. TOP THREAD DOES NOT STAY IN
THE NEEDLE EYE
If embroidering several color blocks in the same color
the machine might cut the top thread too short. If that
happens, deactivate Thread Cutting Mode (see page 28-
29) to make sure the top thread stays in the needle eye.

10. AutoPunch
Art vs. Bitmapped Art
There are many different types of images or formats of
using vector type images, such as .wmf. The software
must be able to recognize a color (block) of information.
A ". bmp" can be made of millions of colors making it
impractical for use.
Clipart falls into two basic categories, Vector Art and
Bitmapped Art.
The software is capable of vectorizing the ".bmp" image,
but it may lose detail, depending on the image. It is
essential to understand about the type of artwork or
image used with AutoPunch.
Vector Art is a clean "graphic" blocks of color – by simple
definition. Some common formats - .wmf and .emf are
two formats that the Auto Punch software can read.
Bitmapped Art is the type of "format" that is typically
saved when scanning. The computer sees millions of
colors to create the "realistic" type of image. Even a
3-color design that we see as simple has billions of
pixels. Common formats recognized by the software:
.bmp, .jpg, .tif, .pcx, .pcd, .tga, and .psd.
Tips for AutoPunchTM
* Scan art with a "high resolution" (200-300 DPI).
* Scan at 3-6 times larger than the intended output.
Lines that are too narrow to properly sew out are
eliminated by the software when it cleans up the artwork.
