kept until you select another stitch.

Twin needle
Activate the twin needle program and use the left
and right arrow buttons on the wheel to set the
twin needle width. When a twin needle size is
selected, the width of all stitches is limited for that
needle size to prevent needle breakage.
In sewing mode the twin needle
recommendation icon will be shown.
The setting is kept until you deselect the twin
needle setting.
Note: Twin needle and stitch width safety cannot be
used at the same time.
A warning pop-up will be shown if you select a stitch
that is too wide for the set twin needle size.
Stitch width safety
Select this function when using a straight stitch
needle plate or a straight stitch presser foot to lock
the center needle position for all stitches to prevent
damage to the needle, presser foot or needle plate.
In sewing mode the stitch width safety icon will
be shown.
When turning on the machine with this setting
activated and for every stitch selection that is not
a straight stitch, a pop-up informs you that it is set
to straight stitch. Deselect stitch width safety to go
back to normal sewing.
Note: Twin needle and stitch width safety cannot be
used at the same time.
