Embroidering a Pattern Containing Seven or More Colors

When embroidering a pattern that uses seven or more thread colors, it is necessary to change the thread spools. When changing the thread spools, instruction to change the thread spools will appear with the machine automatically stopping.

For a pattern with seven or more thread colors, the thread spool information is updated when the seventh thread color is needed.

Afterward, the machine adjusts the assignment of thread colors to reduce the number of times that the thread spools will have to be changed.

For example, for a pattern with ten thread colors and thirteen thread color changes, the thread colors are assigned as shown below.
