11. Sewing the Embroidery
Now, the embroidery machine is ready to begin sewing.
When the machine starts sewing, the presser foot is automatically lowered, the necessary thread trimming
operations at the end of stitching are performed, the threads are changed as necessary while the embroidery is
sewn, and the machine stops when the end of the stitching is reached.
■ Locking mechanism
For safety reason, this embroidery machine is equipped with a locking function.
Normally, the embroidery machine is locked (it cannot start sewing). Unless the machine is unlocked, it
cannot start sewing. If the embroidery machine is not started within 10 seconds after unlocking it, it
automatically returns to being locked.
The start/stop button shows whether or not the embroidery machine is locked. If the start/stop button lights up
in red, the machine is locked. If the start/stop button flashes in green, the machine is unlocked.
