Color thread table
Additional explanations of the machine’s built-in
color thread table and the custom thread table are
provided below.
Normally, the thread colors in the thread color
sequence display and in the pattern display area are
displayed in the colors of the machine's built-in
color thread table. The thread color numbers with
these thread colors are displayed with the thread
color number (or the nearest number) for the brand
specified on the second page of the settings screen.
Therefore, the finished embroidery colors may have
a slightly different tinge.
However, since the custom thread table specified on
the fourth page of the settings screen are created by
specifying thread colors by the thread color numbers
and color names from individual brands in the
machine’s built-in color library, the thread table is
displayed with those original thread colors.
If “CUSTOM THREAD TABLE” is selected and
“DISPLAY EXPANDED THREAD COLOR” is set to
“ON”, pattern colors changed using Custom Thread
can be previewed with colors nearest to the actual
embroidered thread colors.
Create color thread tables from the colors of threads
that you have and use them to display the patterns in
your own thread colors.

Colors of Tajima (.dst)
embroidery data
Tajima data (.dst) does not contain pattern color
information. The data is created by combining only
shapes.
For example, the following embroidery data appears
as shown below in the Tajima format (.dst)
In order for the parts of the pattern to be
differentiated when Tajima data is used with this
machine, the pattern is displayed with colors
automatically applied in the default thread color
sequence. Since the thread colors are applied
according to the sewing order of the parts, regardless
of the design of the pattern, colors may be applied
that seem unusual for the design, for example, an
orange-colored fruit may be displayed in blue.
When using Tajima data, be sure to preview the
sewn image on the screen and change the colors
from the change thread color screen.
