Thread Tension Correction
• The overall tension of the artista 200 is factory set for the best "all around" sewing results using
Mettler Metrosene polyester thread (100/2) for both the needle and bobbin threads.
• If you use other types or weights of thread on a regular basis, you may find it useful to change the
needle thread tension. For example:
- heirloom sewing with 60/2 or 80/2 cotton thread
- quilting with 50/3 cotton thread
• The Thread Tension Correction feature allows you to adjust the upper thread tension of your artista
by a maximum of 20% up or down.
• Remember that adjustments made in Thread Tension Correction will affect the entire sewing portion
of your artista 200.
• Before leaving the Sewing Settings screen, make sure that all changes have been reset by touching Default.
• Touch OK; the screen closes.
Embroidery Settings
Owner's manual pg____
In this area you can adjust the Reference Position, adjust the Embroidery Motor Speed, adjust the needle
thread tension for embroidery only, and activate/deactivate the Auto Thread Cutter for embroidery only.
Adjust Reference Position
• This option allows you to check and adjust the calibration of the needle in relation to the center
of the embroidery hoop.
• Adjustments can only be made with the embroidery module attached to the artista 200.
• Touch the Setup button and select the Embroidery Settings option.
• Secure an embroidery hoop to the artista module and insert the matching template.
• Touch CHECK.
• The artista 200 "reads" the hoop position and positions the hoop so the needle is in the center. If needed,
use the arrows to adjust the hoop position.
• When adjustment is complete, touch OK to confirm.
Note: There is a second Embroidery Settings screen. To access it, touch the arrow:
Motor Speed
• The average embroidery speed is 600 stitches per minute.
• Touch the + and - symbols to increase or decrease the maximum embroidery speed of your artista.
• Each +/- increases/decreases the speed by 10 stitch increments.
• Any change in the maximum embroidery speed affects all four speed settings (¼, ½, ¾, full).

by a maximum of 20% up or down.
