11. Machine Speed

This reflects the maximum speed the machine will run. The machine may automatically slow
for longer stitch movements in X, Y, and also Z. Longer stitches, as well as higher thread feed values, may
affect speed.
Changing Machine Speed
The machine speed may be altered by clicking or tapping the plus or minus button on either side of the speed
setting.
Actual Speed
The actual speed is displayed below the set maximum speed.
Machine Speed Suggestions
While the embroidery machines have extremely fast sew speeds, these speeds may need to be changed
depending on the products or designs you are planning to embroider.
When the machines start to sew, they will begin slowly and then rapidly speed up after the thread has had a
couple of stitches to catch.
The machine will sew at the set sew speed if it is possible. However, design factors may cause the machine to
slow down. Longer machine movements and stitches will cause this. If you hear the machine changing speeds
constantly, you may want to lower the set sew speed to even out sew quality.
