4. Will the density of a design be adjusted
when resizing design ?
When sizing designs from the Design Library, you can
resize within the hoop area on screen, and the stitch
count will be adjusted automatically. All other formats
should be changed in the DESIGN/CHANGE SIZE menu
in order to change the stitch count.
5. Resizing individual letters
You can resize individual letters after you have brought
them into the hoop and exited the text window. Left
click, drag a box around the desired letter, and size
accordingly. Because the letters are built-in, the letter will
keep the appropriate density.
6. Deleting part of a design
Left click and drag a box around the desired area. To
select additional areas, hold down the CONTROL key
and left click on next area. Once selected, touch the
DELETE key on your keyboard.
7. Is there a way to increase the density of
the lettering?
The density is set to a standard value of 4/10th of mm,
which is usually the standard density used for Lettering.
The value is not editable.
8. Why does a design sometimes split up
into very small segments? One color
block can end up ‘divided’ into several
blocks.
The machine has a certain limit of stitches that it can
accept. So what most probably happens is that these are
big blocks that are cut after exceeding the limit, leaving a
certain number of stitches (could possibly be only a few)
as a separate block.
9. Top thread does not stay in the needle eye
If embroidering several color blocks in the same color
the machine might cut the top thread too short. If that
happens, deactivate Thread Cutting Mode (see page 28-
29) to make sure the top thread stays in the needle eye.
