Hoop selection
With this function, you can select an embroidery hoop that is not yet fitted to the machine. A window for selecting
the hoop size appears for this purpose.
After the hoop has been selected, it is represented on the screen.
Positioning a design
Use this function to get the exact position of your design by orbiting it within the embroidery hoop.
With the aid of a cross-hair cursor you can accurately combine one or several designs into a large embroidery
combination by changing the position of the fabric in the hoop.
Orbiting
Touch these icons to move the embroidery hoop to the upper left/upper right or lower left/lower right corner of the
design.
ON
Use this function to select that the hair-cross cursor ( and the embroidery hoop ) permanenly will be moved to the
position in the design where it can be joined to an already embroidered design.
Fine tuning
Use the four arrows to move the embroidery hoop in mm steps in the different directions.
Design processing
This opens a window for further processing the design you have marked. You can alter the size, move and rotate
the design within the hoop.
Move the design
Position your selected design in the embroidery hoop using your finger tip or stylus.
This function must be deselected again.
You can fine tune the designs' position within the hoop with the eight direction arrows.
The numbers in top of the pop-up windows tell you how many mm the design has been moved from the center of
the hoop.
Rotate the design
Rotate your selected design directly on the mult-color touch screen using your finger tip or stylus.
This function must be deselected again.
Use this icon to rotate your design in steps of 1° in the direction of the arrow.
Repositioning
If you rotate a design and it then protrudes beyond the hoop, a red line appears in place of the hoop. This line
alerts you to the fact that the design cannot be embroidered in this position.
The design is automatically placed into the embroidering field with this function.
Undo
This function cancels the command described above and places the design back outside the hoop, allowing you to
continue turning it.
If no red line is visible, a design is within the hoop and can be embroidered.
Size adjustment
You can adjust the size of the design with the +/- icons. The designs are always adjusted proportionally.
Basting function
Touch this icon to activate the basting function, for stitching around the design with a 6 mm straight stitch.
Thread tension
You can adjust the thread tension (tighter or slacker) with the +/- icons.
