Note
●Your machine can embroider fabric that is up to 1 mm (1/16 inch) thick. I f thicker fabric

(Backing) to Fabric” on page 90 for information.)
●When embroidering large pieces of fabric, make sure that the fabric is not c aught in the

pencil, screwdriver or any other hard or sharp object. I n addition, do not apply extreme
pressure to the display screen, otherwise damage to the display scree n may result.
• The display may be dark immediately after the embroidery machine is turned on. This is a
normal characteristic of the backlight and is not a sign of a malfunction . After
approximately 10 minutes, the display should reach its n ormal level of brightness.
• If you are not directly facing the operation panel display, the colors may be disto rted or
the display may be difficult to read. This is a normal character istic of the display and is not
a malfunction. Be sure to sit in front of the display while using it. (Refer to “Ad justing the
