6 OUTSTANDING FEATURES Display the Fabric While Aligning the Embroidering Position The fabric hooped in the embroidery frame can be displayed on the LCD so that the embroidery position can be easily aligned. This feature allows you to easily combine patterns while checking the final image. See “Display the Fabric While Aligning the Embroidering Position” on page 211. Change the Pattern Size While Maintaining the Desired Thread Density (Stitch Recalculator) In the embroidery edit screen, the size of the pattern can be changed while the desired thread density is maintained. With this function, the pattern will be enlarged or reduced at a larger ratio than with normal pattern resizing. See “Changing the Pattern Size While Maintaining the Desired Thread Density (Stitch Recalculator)” on page 270. Expand Your Creativity With Bobbin Work Example with decorative stitches You can create bobbin work, which gives a three- dimensional appearance to the surface of the fabric, by winding the bobbin with heavy weight thread or ribbon too thick to be fed through the sewing machine needle and sewing on the wrong side of the fabric. Bobbin work is sewn using the special bobbin case (gray) included with this machine. See “How to Create Bobbin Work” on page 307.
7 Find New Color Schemes With the Color Shuffling Function With the color shuffling function, the machine suggests new color schemes for the embroidery pattern that you have selected. After you select the desired effect from one of the four available color schemes (“RANDOM”, “VIVID”, “GRADIENT” and “SOFT”) the sample for the selected effect is displayed. See “Find New Color Schemes With the Color Shuffling Function” on page 283. Create Patterns With My Custom Design Any image that you draw in the LCD screen area of your machine can immediately become an embroidery pattern. Specify colors and sewing settings as you desire. Compose embroidery from children’s drawings or of your signature to add to your original artwork. This is a function that everyone will enjoy using. The included pen tablet makes this function even easier to use. Refer to the instruction manual (PDF format) stored in the My Custom Design CD. Easily Perform My Custom Design Operations With the Included Pen Tablet The included pen tablet can be used to perform My Custom Design operations effectively, along with normal screen operations. Since the range of operation with the pen tablet is wider than the machine’s LCD screen, you can easily perform intricate procedures. See “Using the Pen Tablet” on page 23 and “Using the Pen Tablet” on page 34.
