Machine Structure and Features
Six-needle machine
embroidering
Your machine has six needles, each threaded with
a different color of thread. It can sew embroidery
patterns that contain several colors by
automatically selecting the appropriate needle for
each color.
The mechanism that moves the needles up and
down is called the needle bar, and the needle bars
are in the needle bar case. The needle bars are
named from right to left: needle bar 1, needle bar 2,
needle bar 3, needle bar 4, needle bar 5, and
needle bar 6.
1 Needle bar 1
2 Needle 1
3 Needle bar case
The machine automatically assigns a thread color
to each needle. If a needle is already threaded by a
color that will be used on the next pattern the
machine will assign the color to that needle,
reducing the number of thread spool changes. This
also means that the machine does not always
assign colors according to the needle number, it
assigns colors based on the currently threaded
colors.
Memo
● Sewing is not necessarily performed in the
order of the needle bar numbers.
The thread colors assigned to the needle bars are
listed on the screen. Thread the needle bars as
indicated.
1 The threads threaded on the needle bars are
indicated as shown here.
The spool pins, thread tension knobs, thread take-
up levers and thread paths, mentioned when
threading the upper thread, are different according
to their corresponding needle bar number.
