Deleting short stitches
If embroidery data other than our original patterns are used,
the stitch length may be too short, possibly resulting in the
thread or the needle breaking. In order to prevent this
problem from occurring, the machine can be set to delete
stitches with a short stitch length. Stitches with a length less

unexpected trim or no trimming at trim expected
point will happen.
