Thread the machine with the first color (see
“Threading Using the “Automatic
Threading” Button” on page 27).
"
Press the “Presser Foot Lifter” button to
lower the presser foot, and press the “Start/
Stop” button to start embroidering.
! When the first color is completely sewn, the machine
will automatically trim the threads and stop. The
presser foot will then automatically be raised.
On the embroidery color order display, the next
color will move to the top.
#
Remove the thread for the first color from
the machine. Thread the machine with the
next color.

Repeat the same steps for embroidering the
remaining colors.
! When the last color is sewn, “Finish sewing” will
appear on the display. Press (CLOSE), and the
display will return to the original screen.
Memo
The [+] cursor moves over the pattern, show-
ing which part of the pattern is being sewn.
Memo
If there is thread left over from the beginning
of sewing, it may be sewn over as you con-
tinue embroidering the pattern, making it very
difficult to deal with the thread after the pattern
is finished. Trim the threads at the beginning.

Memo
The Thread Trimming Function is originally set
to trim excess thread jumps (threads linking
parts of the color steps, etc.). Depending on
the type of thread and fabric that are used, an
end of the upper thread may remain on the
surface of the fabric at the beginning of the
stitching. After embroidering is finished, cut off
this excess thread.
*If the setting has been turned off, trim the
excess thread jumps using scissors after the
pattern is finished.
See page 157 for information on the thread
trimming function.
