Selecting the Length of Jump Stitch 

Not to Trim

When the thread trimming function 

 is turned 

on, you can select the length of the jump stitch not 
to trim the thread. This function can be turned on or 
off during embroidering.
Select a setting from 5 mm to 50 mm in 5 mm 
increments.

*

Your customized setting remains after turning the 
machine off and on.

Press 

 or 

 to select the length of jump stitch.

For example: Press 

 to select 25 mm (1 inch) 

and the machine will not trim a jump stitch of 25 
mm or less before moving to the next stitching.

Note

• When this function is turned on, use the 

included ball point needle 75/11 for embroi-
dering patterns with short jump stitches such 
as alphabet characters. Using other needles 
may cause the thread to break.

Note

• If design has many trims it is recommended 

to select a higher jump stitch trim setting in 
order to reduce the amount of excess tails 
on backside of fabric.

• The higher number of the jump stitch length 

selected, the fewer number of times the 
machine will trim. In this case, more jump 
stitches remain on the surface of the fabric.
