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.

Assignment of thread colors to needle bars

Thread colors are automatically assigned by the 
machine to needle bars 1 to 6, starting with the 
thread colors that are sewn first. (However, if a 
new pattern has thread colors that are the same 
as the previously sewn pattern, the thread colors 
will be assigned to the same needle bar as 
before, regardless of the sewing order.)
For example, for a pattern with six thread colors 
and ten thread color changes, the thread colors 
are assigned as shown below.

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 seven thread 
colors and eleven thread color changes, the 
thread colors are assigned as shown below.

Since the thread colors on needle bars 1, 2 and 5 will 
be used again after the thread spools are changed, 
they will not be replaced. However, different colors 
are assigned to the other needle bars.

Checking if thread spool 
changes are necessary

When selecting a pattern, the number of thread 
changes can be viewed, however, which thread 
colors are used in the pattern cannot be checked 
on this screen. Whether or not and when thread 
spools will need to be changed can be checked 
with the following indicators.

Time until the spools must be changed

This indicator shows the amount of time until 
the next spool change and the current sewing 
time. When the embroidering screen is 
displayed, if a length of time appears here, at 
least one spool change will be required.
