Helpful Tips for the Operation of the Machine

This section provides descriptions to operations useful in the operation of this machine.

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 first 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 change thread color screen in the pattern
editing screen is 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 pattern colors changed using custom thread
table, pattern 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. Remember to
save your Custom Thread Table before you create
a new one.
Refer to "Creating a custom thread table" on
page 132, and "Choosing a color from the custom
thread table" on page 135 for the change thread
color function.

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 embroidering 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
embroidered image on the screen and change the
colors from the change thread color screen.
