EMBROIDERING A PATTERN
CONTAINING SEVEN OR MORE
COLORS
When embroidering a pattern that uses seven or more
thread colors, it is necessary to change the thread spools.
When changing the thread spools, instruction to change
the thread spools will appear with the machine
automatically stopping.
Memo
• This function is not available when you set [Manual
Color Sequence] to [ON] in settings screen.
Checking if thread spool changes are
necessary
When selecting a pattern, the number of thread changes can
be viewed; however, which thread colors are used in the
pattern cannot be checked on this screen. Whether or not,
and when, thread spools will need to be changed can be
checked with the following indicators.
■ Time until the machine stops embroidering
This indicator shows the amount of time until the machine
stops embroidering. The machine stops when a spool
change is required or when the machine is set to be
stopped by other settings.
If the spool change indicator appears, the machine will
require a spool change. When the time is indicated in red,
it is the last color embroidering before the machine stops.
