16.4. Advanced Acti-Feed Calibration
This section of Machine Preferences will alter the behavior of Acti-Feed. This will cause thread breaks to be
detected more or less frequently and make tighter or looser embroidered stitches.
Changing these settings will alter the way the thread is fed to the cloth and the accuracy of thread
break detection.
If using a different bobbin tension than that explained in
these sliders will most likely need adjusting to maintain appropriate Acti-Feed and thread break
detection.
