Machine Structure and Features
Six-needle machine embroidering
Your machine has six needles, each threaded with a different color of thread. It can sew embroidery patterns that contain several colors by automatically selecting the appropriate needle for each color.
The mechanism that moves the needles up and down is called the needle bar, and the needle bars are in the needle bar case. The needle bars are named from right to left: needle bar 1, needle bar 2, needle bar 3, needle bar 4, needle bar 5, and needle bar 6.
1 Needle bar 1
2 Needle 1
3 Needle bar case
The machine automatically assigns a thread color to each needle. If a needle is already threaded by a color that will be used on the next pattern the machine will assign the color to that needle, reducing the number of thread spool changes. This also means that the machine does not always assign colors according to the needle number, it assigns colors based on the currently threaded colors.
Memo
●Sewing is not necessarily performed in the order of the needle bar numbers.
The thread colors assigned to the needle bars are listed on the screen. Thread the needle bars as indicated.

1The threads threaded on the needle bars are indicated as shown here.
The spool pins, thread tension knobs, thread takeup levers and thread paths, mentioned when threading the upper thread, are different according to their corresponding needle bar number.
8
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Not all six needles can be used to sew at the same time. Only one needle is moved to the embroidering position at a time. According to the sewing order, the needle bar case is moved to the left and right so that the needle bar and needle thread with the required color can be moved to the embroidering position.
1Needle at the embroidering position
The needle is positioned over the hole in the needle plate 2.
When starting the machine, the presser foot is automatically lowered. The embroidery is sewn and thread is pulled away from the material when thread trimming and when changing thread colors (moving to the different needles to be sewn within the embroidery). When sewing is finished, the machine stops. If the pattern uses seven or more thread colors, the machine will stop when it is necessary for the thread spools to be changed, and the corresponding instructions appear on the LCD.
Differences with single-needle machines
■Can sew embroidery patterns using six or less colors without the need to replace the thread spools
With single-needle machines, the thread spool must be changed and the machine must be threaded each time a different thread color is used. With this machine, it is not necessary to change the thread spool or rethread the machine with embroidery patterns containing six or less colors. If total colors are less than 6 colors, and if total color change is more than 7 times, machine will come back to the needle that the machine is already used and sew the same color again automatically.
■Automatic sewing reduces sewing time
Except to change the thread spools with patterns containing seven or more colors, once the machine is started, it continues to operate automatically, from lowering the presser foot to performing the specified operations at the starting and end positions in addition to changing the thread colors. Since the machine can change threads and finish stitching, sewing time is reduced.
■Automatically pulls and holds the thread tails to the under side of fabric at the beginning and end of stitching
Since the machine automatically pulls the upper thread under the fabric at the beginning of a color, and pulls the upper thread from the fabric at the time of thread trimming, you don’t need to deal with the upper thread tail at all.
■Automatically moves the embroidery frame to the embroidering position
With a single-needle machine, in most cases, the embroidery pattern is centered in the frame and the fabric must be correctly positioned within the embroidery frame with the center of the desired embroidering position aligned with the center of the embroidery frame. However, with this machine, the embroidery frame is moved to determine the embroidering position, making it easier to sew the pattern at any place in the frame. In addition, the embroidering position can be freely determined after the fabric is hooped and the embroidery frame is attached to the machine, regardless of how the fabric is positioned in the embroidery frame.

Other features
■Easy-to-read and easy-to- use LCD
Equipped with a large color LCD, the colors of an embroidery pattern can be previewed in a nearly realistic image. In addition, since the LCD is a touch panel, the keys
that are displayed can be touched to easily perform operations.
■Safety mechanism
The machine is equipped with a locking mechanism that helps prevent injuries from accidental operation. The machine can only be started after the machine is unlocked. The color of the start/stop button changes to inform you of whether or not the machine is locked.

■Wide selection of built-in thread color information
The thread color information for manufacturers’ threads is available, making it easy to choose the appropriate thread color.
■Expanded thread color display feature enables colors to be displayed as realistic true color
The colors and thread color numbers are stored in the machine’s memory. From this thread color library, you can select colors to create your own color thread table. If the pattern colors are changed using this table, the pattern can be displayed with only the thread colors that you have. In addition, the embroidery pattern can be displayed as it would appear after it is embroidered.
■Automatic needle-threading mechanism
Using the automatic needle-threading mechanism, the needle can easily be threaded.
10
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
■USB port available as standard equipment
By connecting a computer to the machine using the included USB cable, embroidery patterns can be transferred from the computer. Refer to “Computer (USB)” on page 156.
If the machine is positioned at a distance that the USB cable does not reach the computer, embroidery patterns can be transferred from the computer by temporarily saving them on USB media, which is then connected to the machine. Refer to “USB media” on page 160.
■Moving or threading a selected needle bar at any time
When selecting, editing or embroidering a pattern, any one of the needle bars can be selected at any time to be threaded or moved to the embroidering position.
Touch to open the needle move screen, then select the needle bar number that you want to move or thread. (Refer to “Moving and threading a selected needle bar” on
page 61.)
Available features
Designs with a maximum size of 200 mm (H) × 300 mm (W) (7-7/8 inches (H) × 11-3/4 inches (W)) can be embroidered. If the optional cap frame is used, embroidery can be sewn on caps.
■Various built-in patterns
In addition to the many built-in character patterns, embroidery patterns and frame patterns, using optional embroidery cards greatly expands this machine’s pattern library.
■Embroidery pattern editing
Lettering and embroidery patterns can be combined or a text arrangement can be specified to arrange the patterns.
The machine can also be set to repeatedly sew the same pattern.
