Here you will find tabs for Sewing Settings, Embroidery
Settings, Machine Settings etc. Just swipe between the
tabs and make settings for your creative icon™ machine.

Sewing Settings

There are two ways to change your settings;
1. Default Settings:
Settings made in Default Settings will be saved, even
when turning your machine off. The Default Settings
becomes active when you start a new session or
restart your machine.
2. Temporary Settings:
Settings made in Temporary Settings will be reset at
the start of a new project in Help Center or start of a
new sewing session. When turning your machine off,
all changes made in Temporary Settings will be reset
to default.
ActivStitch™ Technology
When the ActivStitch™ technology feature is selected
your machine will automatically choose the best way to
control the upper thread, by thread metering or thread
tension, based on your selected stitch and settings.
Thread metering 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 metering.
Deselect the ActivStitch™ technology feature in the
Temporary Settings to switch to thread tension. The
control for adjusting thread metering/thread tension ,
will change depending on the active stitch and whether
the ActivStitch™ technology feature is selected or not in
Temporary Settings.
Read about ActivStitch™ technology in the Sewing
chapter.
Automatic Presser Foot Lift
When selected, the machine automatically raises the
presser foot in the following situations:
• When stopping with the needle in the down position
the presser foot will automatically raise to pivot
height.
• After a thread cut the presser foot will be raised to lift
position.
When deselected, the presser foot will stay lowered,
even if the machine stops with the needle in down
position.
