Method |
Function |
|
Match bead |
Automatically sets a margin around the bead so that fixing stitches don’t punch too close. |
|
Set manually |
Activates the Size field and lets you set a fixing stitch size independent of bead size. |
3If you choose ‘set manually’, specify a value in the Size field. Size is measured from the center of the bead. Enter a value from 2.50mm to 30.00mm.
3If you choose automatic matching, specify a margin for the fixing stitch in the Margin field. Enter a value from 0.20mm to 2.00mm. This ensures that the fixing stitch does not punch too close to the bead.
5To adjust fixing orientation, choose one of the preset directions – left/right, up/down.
