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 colo rs 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.
Refer to “Creating a custom thread table” on
page 176, and “Choosing a color from the custom
thread table” on page 179 for the change thre ad
color function.

Colors of Tajima (.dst) 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 applie d
according to the sewing 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
sewn image on the screen and change the colors
from the change thread color screen.
