OTHER BASIC PROCEDURES —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————110Embroidering a Pattern Containing Eleven or MoreColorsWhen embroidering a pattern that uses eleven or more thread colors, it is necessary to change the threadspools. When changing the thread spools, instruction to change the thread spools will appear with themachine automatically stopping.Memo● This function is not available when you set“Manual Color Sequence” to “ON” insettings screen.■ Assignment of thread colors to needle barsThread colors are automatically assigned by themachine to needle bars 1 to 10, starting with thethread colors that are sewn first. (However, if anew pattern has thread colors that are the sameas the previously sewn pattern, the thread colorswill be assigned to the same needle bar asbefore, regardless of the sewing order.)For example, for a pattern with five thread colorsand ten thread color changes, the thread colorsare assigned as shown below.For a pattern with eleven or more thread colors,the thread spool information is updated whenthe eleventh thread color is needed.Afterward, the machine adjusts the assignmentof thread colors to reduce the number of timesthat the thread spools will have to be changed.For example, for a pattern with eleven threadcolors and eleven thread color changes, thethread colors are assigned as shown below.Since the thread colors on needle bars 1 to 3 will beused again after the thread spools are changed, theywill not be replaced. However, different colors areassigned to the other needle bars.1 Needle bar 12 Needle bar 23 Needle bar 34 Needle bar 45 Needle bar 5123451 Needle bar 12 Needle bar 23 Needle bar 34 Needle bar 45 Needle bar 56 Needle bar 67 Needle bar 78 Needle bar 89 Needle bar 910 Needle bar 10Change thread spools here.4 Needle bar 42 Needle bar 21 Needle bar 13 Needle bar 35 Needle bar 5
