Settings in Sewing Mode
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.
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.
Changes made in Temporary Settings are shown under
Active Features in the Information Area.
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.
we recommend that you keep this setting selected
except when using specialty techniques or accessories
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.
