Reserved needle bar and embroidery speed
settings
Normally, the machine automatically assigns thread colors to
the needle bars; however, a specific thread color can be
manually assigned to a certain needle bar. If a needle bar is
specified, that needle bar is removed from the machine’s
automatic assignments and the specified color remains
assigned to it.
By specifically assigning often used thread colors to certain
needle bars, the trouble of changing the thread spools can be
reduced.
Also, the maximum embroidery speed can be specified to the
assigned needle bar. It is useful when you specially set a weak
thread such as a metallic thread to the assigned needle bar.
Once a manual needle bar setting is specified, it remains
applied until the setting is cancelled.

normal mode. When you set [Manual Color

10 needle bars in the [Manual Color Sequence]

mode, the setting of needle bar 10 is canceled
automatically.

stitches embroidered in one minute.)

always effective to the assigned needle bar, even if
you set the faster speed in the embroidering
screen. (page 89)
