6-8. Using the bobbin thread counter
Set the bobbin thread counter to display the number of pieces of the selected pattern which can be sewn with the amount
of thread on the bobbin to avoid running out of bobbin thread in the middle of a patern.
1. Press the MENU switch (6) until the B.T. COUNTER indicator (10) illuminates.
The bobbin thread counter can be set to any number from <001> to <999>. If the counter is set to <000>, sewing
continues irrespective of the amount of bobbin thread remaining.
2. While pressing the STEP BACK switch (17), turn the dial (12) to set the number of articles to be embroidered.
3. Insert the floppy disk and press the bobbin thread SET switch (13). An alarm will beep twice. This will record the
number of work pieces shown in the counter (5) to the disk.
4. The number shown in the counter (5) will decrease one each time the stitch pattern is completed. When the number of
patterns shown in the counter is sewn, the counter (5) will red <000>, and an alarm will sound. (The sewing machine
will not start even if the start switch is pressed.)
5. Press the bobbin thread change switch (14) and replace the bobbin. The alarm will stop, and the number of work
pieces set in step 3 will be displayed again in the counter (5).
