Maximum stitch

The value you enter depends on the tape code used by your machine. The default maximum stitch length value for Schiffli is 16.5mm.

Minimum stitch

Enter the smallest stitch to allow when outputting to the selected machine format. Generally minimum stitch length is increased for dense materials, thick threads, or older machines in order to prevent thread breakage or inaccurate stitching.

This value sets the default ‘Small Stitches’ value. See Eliminating small stitches for details.

Maximum jump

In the Maximum Jump field, enter the maximum length of jumps. This sets the default Auto Jump value. See Preserve long stitches for details.

Tip: Shorter jump values generally improve stitch quality and reduce wear on the machine but may increase stitch-out time.
