Adjusting the thread cut

The settings for the thread cut can be customized. Deactivate the thread cut after a color change (1) or
adjust the length of the connecting stitch (3). The machine does the cutting of the connecting threads at the
determined length for you. First, set the length from which the connecting stitches are cut, and then select
the embroidery motif.
The length of the connecting thread can be adjusted between 1 mm and 15 mm, the default setting is 6
mm. This means that all connecting stitches longer than 6 mm are cut automatically. If the value is
reduced to 1 mm, more thread cuts are carried out, it takes longer to embroider and more loose thread
ends can be seen on the wrong side of the fabric, especially when the function 'Thread-away' is activated
too. On the right side of the fabric there will be practically none or merely very short connecting stitches
which results in a wonderful stitch formation. Reducing the length of the thread cut to 1 mm is
particularly of advantage when embroidering texts where usually many short connecting threads occur.
As for other embroidery motifs (specifically when both sides of the embroidery motifs are visible) it may
be reasonable to not reduce the length of the thread cut so much so that there won't be too many loose
thread ends on the wrong side of the fabric. These loose ends get sewn over and can hardly be removed
afterwards.
