Stitch & jump length settings

With most machines you can set maximum frame movement, minimum stitch length to recognize, and automatic jump length.

3In the Maximum Stitch field, enter the maximum stitch length to allow.

The value you enter depends on the tape code used by your machine:

4In the Minimum Stitch field, enter the minimum stitch length to allow.

This sets the default Small Stitches value. Generally the minimum stitch length is increased for dense materials and thick threads to prevent thread breakage.

5In the Maximum Jump field, enter the maximum jump length to allow.

This sets the default Auto Jump value. Shorter jump values generally improve stitch quality and reduce wear on the machine but may increase stitch-out time.

6Click Save then Close.
