Entering the fabric thickness

If the fabric thickness, as for e.g. toweling is more than 4 mm (0.15 inch) it is recommended to select
7.5 mm (0.29 inch) or 10 mm (0.39 inch). The thicker the fabric, the slower the embroidery speed of the
machine. When the machine is switched off, the alterations are reset to the default setting 4 mm (0.15 inch).

Function thread away on/off

the presser foot and the embroidery hoop is too short, the function is not carried out.
