Borers are often ‘knife’ attachments which are offset from the main needle. Before boring starts, the frame moves so that the borer is in the correct position. This movement compensates for the borer offset.
Switching to borer knife requires a needle or color change on the machine. When toggling the Borers button, EmbroideryStudio automatically inserts a Stop code.
The borer knife is offset from the needles by 11~12 mm depending on machine type. EmbroideryStudio automatically includes a ‘y offset’ when toggling the Borers button.
Most multihead machines, except ZSK/Pfaff, have a single fixed borer depth.
