Embroidering a Pattern Containing Eleven or More
Colors
When embroidering a pattern that uses eleven 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.
■ Assignment of thread colors to needle bars
Thread colors are automatically assigned by the
machine to needle bars 1 to 10, starting with the
thread colors that are sewn first. (However, if a
new pattern has thread colors that are the same
as the previously sewn pattern, the thread colors
will be assigned to the same needle bar as
before, regardless of the sewing order.)
For example, for a pattern with five thread colors
and ten thread color changes, the thread colors
are assigned as shown below.
1 Needle bar 1
2 Needle bar 2
3 Needle bar 3
4 Needle bar 4
5 Needle bar 5

For a pattern with eleven or more thread colors,
the thread spool information is updated when
the eleventh thread color is needed.
Afterward, the machine adjusts the assignment
of thread colors to reduce the number of times
that the thread spools will have to be changed.
For example, for a pattern with eleven thread
colors and eleven thread color changes, the
thread colors are assigned as shown below.
1 Needle bar 1
2 Needle bar 2
3 Needle bar 3
4 Needle bar 4
5 Needle bar 5
6 Needle bar 6
7 Needle bar 7
8 Needle bar 8
9 Needle bar 9
10 Needle bar 10

4 Needle bar 4
2 Needle bar 2
1 Needle bar 1
3 Needle bar 3
5 Needle bar 5
Since the thread colors on needle bars 1 to 3 will be
used again after the thread spools are changed, they
will not be replaced. However, different colors are
assigned to the other needle bars.
