3. PRESS THE #1 KEY AND THEN THE ENTER KEY
THE ENTER KEY IS THE LARGEST KEY AND THE ONE WITH THE LARGEST ARROW ON THE
NUMERIC KEYPAD.
DISPLAY SHOWS “PRESS HOME KEY”
4. PRESS THE HOME KEY
DISPLAY SHOWS “TYPE DATA 1. B-DATA 2. BA-DATA”

B-DATA IS THE MOST COMMONLY USED FOR IT WILL BE THE MOST COMPATIBLE WITH SOME OF
THE SPECIAL PROGRAMMING FUNCTIONS.
BA-DATA IS MORE RESTRICTIVE WITH SOME OF THE SPECIAL PROGRAMMING FUNCTIONS AND
THIS DATA SERVES NO PURPOSE UNLESS YOU PLAN TO MAKE AN EMBROIDERY SEWING
PROGRAM, WHICH WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT WITH THE TEACHING PANEL.
5. PRESS THE #1 KEY AND THEN PRESS THE ENTER KEY
DISPLAY SHOWS “THE SELECTION FOR THE SEWING SPEED AND THE STITCH LENGTH FOR THE
SEWING PROGRAM”.
PRESS THE SPEED KEY TO CHANGE THE SEWING SPEED
THERE ARE 4 CHOICES, HIGH/TOP SPEED, MD1/MEDIUM HIGH SPEED, MD2/MEDIUM LOW SPEED,
AND LOW/200 RPM.
HIGH SPEED IS THE MOST COMMONLY USED SEWING SPEED ALTHOUGH MORE TIMES THAN NOT,
YOU WILL NEED TO SELECT ONE OF THE LOWER SPEEDS AT THE START OF THE SEWING
PROGRAM TO HELP PICK UP THE BOBBIN THREAD.
THE TYPE OF MATERIAL AND THREAD BEING USED WILL USUALLY DETERMINE THIS.
41
NOTE: IF YOU CHOOSE A LOWER SPEED IN THE START OF THE SEWING PROGRAM, DON’T FORGET
TO CHANGE THE SPEED BACK TO HIGH, OR THE ENTIRE SEWING PROGRAM WILL BE IN THAT
LOWER SPEED.
ALSO, AFTER YOU INPUT THE LOWER SPEED STITCHES AT THE START OF YOUR SEWING
PROGRAM, DON’T FORGET TO PRESS THE ENTER KEY BEFORE YOU PRESS THE SPEED KEY TO
CHANGE THE SPEED TO HIGH.
ALSO, YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU COULD CHANGE THE STITCH LENGTH AT THIS POINT IF YOU
WANTED TO, OR AT ANY OTHER TIME WHILE MAKING THE SEWING PATTERN JUST BY PRESSING THE
SPEED KEY.
6. ENTER THE STITCH LENGTH WITH THE NUMERIC KEYPAD IN MM AND THEN PRESS THE ENTER KEY
STITCH LENGTH RANGE (.1-12.7MM) WITH NORMAL LINE INPUT METHOD.
THE SEWING PROGRAM IS NOW READY TO BE MADE USING THE KEYS ON THE NUMERIC KEYPAD
THAT HAVE THE SMALL ARROWS ON THEM.
THE KEY WITH THE LARGE ARROW IS THE ENTER KEY.
NOTE: AS A DEFAULT VALUE THE TEACHING PANEL IS PRESET TO BE IN THE FEED MODE.
(CLAMP MOVEMENT WITHOUT STITCHING TO A START SEW POINT) (MOST COMMONLY USED)
THE FEED MODE CAN BE TURNED ON OR OFF BY PRESSING THE FEED KEY.
START MAKING THE SEWING PROGRAM BY USING THE SMALL ARROW KEYS, AND AT THE END
OF EACH LINE OF STITCHING PRESS THE ENTER KEY.
NOTE: WHILE MAKING THE SEWING PROGRAM, IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE AND HAVE NOT YET
PRESSED THE ENTER KEY, PRESS THE CANCEL KEY AND THE LAST STITCH LINE WILL BE CLEARED.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PRESSED THE ENTER KEY, PRESS THE STITCH CLEAR KEY AND THE LAST
STITCH LINE WILL BE CLEARED.
CONTINUED PRESSING OF THE STITCH CLEAR KEY WILL CLEAR THE STITCH LINES ALL THE WAY
BACK TO THE START IF YOU WISH.
AT THE END OF YOUR SEWING PROGRAM:
7. PRESS THE RETURN KEY (TRIM AND RETURN TO HOME)

8. PRESS THE END KEY
DONE

SPECIAL INPUT METHODS
NOTE: IN USING THE SPECIAL INPUT FUNCTIONS YOU WILL SEE THAT AUTOMATIC START AND
END BACKTACKING, THE AMOUNT OF BACKTACK STITCHES, ETC. IS AN OPTION THAT CAN BE
USED.REMEMBER THAT THESE BACKTACKING STITCHES WILL BE IN THE SAME NEEDLE HOLES
AS THE SEWING PROGRAM. THIS MAY NOT BE ACCEPTABLE IN SOME CASES, AND IF NOT YOU
WILL NEED TO ADD THESE STITCHES ANOTHER WAY, MOST PROBABLY IN THE POINT TO POINT
INPUT MODE, AND IF NECESSARY 1 STITCH AT A TIME. AUTOMATIC BACKTACKING CAN ALSO BE
USED WITH THE NORMAL INPUT METHODS.
ZIG ZAG STITCHING WILL BE THE MOST COMMONLY USED OF THE SPECIAL INPUT METHODS.
OVERLAP (MULTIPLE PARALLEL STITCHING)

INVERT (REVERSE MULTIPLE PARALLEL STITCHING)
OFFSET (OFFSET STITCHING FROM CLAMP) (SEE DIAGRAM)
ZIG ZAG (ZIG ZAG STITCHING) ( MAX. 10MM WIDTH AND 10MM LENGTH)

OUTWARD, BUT EQUAL DISTANCE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE NORMAL STITCHING LINE. USE MIDDLE IF
YOU HAVE A COMBINATION OF STRAIGHT STITCHING AND ZIG ZAG STITCHING.

DISPLAY WILL SHOW “BACKTACKING 1. S-E 2. REP. 3.NO”

OVERLAPPING STITCHES.
THIS IS HELPFUL FOR EXAMPLE WHEN DOING A ZIG ZAG CIRCLE, AND AGAIN THE DISPLAY WILL
PROMPT YOU FOR THE AMOUNT OF BACKTACK STITCHES AND THE TYPE OF BACKTACK.
NO MEANS NO BACKTACKING STITCHES.
