5.02 Sewing with fi xed programs
Fixed programs are stored under the program numbers 1 and 2.
The fi xed programs are used for the quick and easy production of seams with different
amounts of fullness. When sewing with fi xed programs, 2 or 3 seam sections are sewn af-
ter each other. With the knee switch it is possible to move to the next section. The fi xed pro-
grams are designed as cyclic running programs, i.e. at the end of the last seam section, the
machine moves back to the fi rst seam section. The fullness value can be selected for each
seam section, the settings for needle and foot positions apply to all sections and can be alte-
red at any time with the appropriate function.
The fullness values are designed for a basic stitch length of 2.5 mm. When se-
wing with shorter stitch lengths, the gathering intensity is increased, with lon-
ger stitch lengths it is reduced accordingly.
Switch on the machine and select program number " ● 1" or "2", see Chapter 4.01 Selecting

gram. The information about the seam program, such as program number, number of pro-
grammed seam sections, programmed comments is displayed.
For better orientation a seam sketch is shown with the programmed seam sections. The
seam start, seam end, the seam sections already sewn, the current seam section and the
seam sections still to be sewn are illustrated by symbols and different types of lines with dif-
ferent thicknesses. For the current seam section the corresponding parameters for seam
section number, fullness with fullness adjustment and the number of stitches (length of

6.03 Seam program administration
In the program administration the seam programs deposited in the machine memory and
the SD-Card can be deleted and copied. The left side of the display shows the programs in
machine memory. The right side of the display shows the programs on the SD-Card. Selec-
ted programs are red marked. With the MDAT-function the machine confi guration can be co-
pied or deleted. The Format-function formats the SD-Card. Further actions are shown in a
dialog window.
After SD-Card insertion it takes up to 20s until the card is detected.
Switch on the machine. ●
Call up the input mode. ●
Call up program administration. ●
Read SD-Card and machine memory again. ●
Explanation of the functions
Input mode
Calls up the basic display for the input mode.
Sewing mode
Quit input mode and call up sewing mode.
Program selection
After the program administration has been selected, at least one seam program is always
marked. Using the arrow functions, the desired seam program can be selected. With the
*-function and the arrow functions a seam program block can be marked. By pressing the
*.function again, the block function is deactivated.
Copy
Selected seam programs are copied from/to SD-Card.
Delete
Selected seam programs are deleted.

Yes for one seam program.
All button
Yes for one or all marked seam programs.
Esc button
No for one or all marked seam programs.
Next button
No for one seam program.
Machine confi guration
With the MDAT-function the machine confi guration can be copied to/from SD-Card or can be
deleted on the SD-Card (fi lename: MDAT).
Format SD-Card
The Format-function formats the SD-Card.
If the SD-Card is not readable, it is new formatted. If the SD-Card is readable and the directory \P487 for the 487-machine exists then all seam programs and the machine confi guration
(MDAT) are deleted in this directory.
If the directory \P487 for the 487-machine does not exist, only the directory \P487 is created.
So all other fi les and directories on the SD-Card are not corrupted.
It is recommended to use SD-Cards with a maximum capacity of 2 GB.
