Automatic Computer Controlled Thread Metering (tension) System
Instead of a mechanical tension system, which controls thread by squeezing it between 2 discs, the XL-1000 controls
thread by computer. An automatic computer controlled thread metering system delivers the precise amount of thread
for each needle penetration to create the optimal appearance of each stitch. This makes possible, perfectly balanced
straight stitch, plus no pucker blind hemming, two color patterns without changing thread, multicolored embroidery
without changing bobbin thread, and decorative top-stitching and cross stitching that simulate hand sewn. An override
control allows individual modification for specialized effects.
Examples of Automatic Thread Metering:
