2-3. Using cycle programs

Sewing patterns that have been recorded in user programs can be saved in up to 30 cycle programs. One cycle program can contain up to a maximum of 50 steps.
When sewing the sewing patterns in a certain order, it can be useful to save them in a cycle program beforehand. * If memory switch No. 400 is set to OFF, cycle program setting and selection cannot be carried out.
<Registration method>
This describes the procedure using an example in which program number 106 is registered as the 1st step, program number 200 is registered as the 2nd step and program number 252 is registered as the 3rd step of cycle program number C01.
1. Touch the cycle program key in the sewing operation screen to switch to the cycle program editing screen. * To edit a cycle program which has already been created, first select the desired cycle program number and then
