Sequencing
In sequencing, you are creating and adjusting a sequence of stitches. Combine various 9mm stitches, maxi
stitches and stitch fonts from the machine or from an external device. Stitches made in Stitch Creator can
also be inserted in a sequence.
You can create sequences up to approximately 500mm (20”) long. You can see how long your actual
sequence is in the upper left corner (1).

shown at the same time.
Sequencing can be used in both sewing mode and in embroidery mode. To open, just touch the
sequencing symbol on the task bar. To close sequencing and sew your created combination, touch the
symbol on the task bar again.
Note: If sewing mode is active and your programmed stitch is ready to be sewn, you can also close the active function
by pressing the foot control, or by pressing the start/stop button.
Not all stitches are available to use in a sequence. If you try to select an unavailable stitch, a pop-up will
notify you.

Sequencing
Create a sequence
The active position is marked by a cursor and
the selected stitch or letter will be marked in
red. Inserted stitches will be placed at the cursor
position. Only the selected stitch can be adjusted.
Move the cursor through the sequence using the
arrows (10). Between the arrows the number of the
actual stitch will be shown next to the total number
of stitches in the sequence.
Open the selection menu to load a stitch font. Select
the desired font. In the stitch selection area, select
from upper or lower case letters, normal or special
letters and special symbols.
Insert a stitch or letter
Move the cursor where you want to add a stitch or
letter. Select the desired stitch you want to insert. It
will be placed at the cursor position.
Adjust text and stitches
You can mirror, adjust length and width or change
the density or position of the selected stitch. The
adjustments work just like in sewing mode.
Delete a stitch or letter (5)
If you want to delete a stitch, move the cursor to
the stitch you want to delete and touch the delete
icon. Use the long touch function to delete the
whole sequence.
Duplicate a stitch or letter (6)
To duplicate a stitch, move the cursor to the stitch
you want to duplicate. Touch the duplicate icon to
copy the selected stitch.
Note: Make your adjustments on the stitch before
duplicating and the copied stitch includes the
adjustments.
Use the long touch function to get a pop-up where
you can enter the exact number of copies you want
to insert.
Replace a stitch or letter
To replace a stitch, simply select it and then touch
delete and insert the new stitch. It will be placed at
the cursor position.
Zoom to all (9)
If the stitch or sequence is wider than what can be
shown on the screen, you may use the zoom to all
icon to see the whole width of the sequence.
Note: Zoom to all is only visible if the stitch or sequence
is wider than the stitch field.

Option bar
Save options (15)
You can save your sequence to a personal menu
(15a) or to personal files (15b).
Sequence commands (16)
You can insert tie-offs, stop and thread snips
commands into the sequence. These commands
will be included in the sequence and will always be
performed when sewing it.
Use the tie-off command (16a) if you want a
secure tie-off. You can insert the tie-off commands
anywhere in the sequence.
Note: If creating a sequence in embroidery mode, tie-offs
at the beginning and end will be added automatically,
allowing you to create a sequence in between. The
commands can be removed.
Insert a stop command (16b) if you want the
machine to stop. This is useful for example at the
end of the sequence if you want to sew it only once
or to create a sequence in several rows.
Insert the thread snips command (16c) if you want
the machine to tie-off and cut the threads and raise
the presser foot.
Move the cursor to the position where you want to
add a command. Select it and an icon will be added
into the sequence. This confirms that the command
is inserted and it also shows where the command
will be performed in the sequence.
Note: The commands will appear on the screen in the
order you program them.

Sequencing
Directional stitches (17)
Add directional stitches between stitches in a
sequence. These stitches make it possible to move
stitches in various directions and you can create
new shapes and wider large-area borders.
Directional stitches are straight stitches with a
length of approximately 1mm and can be used in
16 different directions.
Open the directional stitches pop-up. The selected
angle will be indicated in red (A) in the directional
field (B). The angle will also be shown on the pop-
up (C). Touch the directional field to select which
angle you want to insert a stitch. You can either
touch the desired line on the white area or touch
and drag the red line and then release it at the
desired angle.
When the intended angle is selected, touch the
insert icon (D) and one stitch will be inserted in the
sequence at the cursor position.
The directional stitch can be deleted, duplicated or
mirrored without closing the directional stitches
pop-up.
Horizontal preview (18)
To see your sequence horizontally, touch the
preview icon.
Your sequence will be shown on a pop-up. If it
is too long for the window, it is possible to zoom
to all (E) to see the entire sequence. You can also
scroll through the sequence with the arrows (F).
Sewing a sequence
To sew the sequence, return to sewing mode or
embroidery edit. Close sequencing by deselecting
the sequencing icon on the task bar.
Adjustments made in sewing mode or embroidery
mode will affect the whole sequence. However,
these changes will not be saved if you return to
sequencing. In embroidery edit, the position of the
sequence will be kept.
In sewing mode it is possible to start sewing
anywhere in the sequence. Use the arrows (G) to
step through the sequence.

Sequencing
Important sequencing information
Sequencing can be used in either sewing mode
or embroidery mode. A sequence created when
embroidery mode is active will become an
embroidery design when saved and cannot be
sewn as a stitch in sewing mode.
To save a sequence
If sewing mode is active, you can save your
sequence both in personal menu (A) and personal
files (B). If embroidery mode is active, your
sequence will be loaded to embroidery edit, and
can only be saved as a design (C). A sequence
created in sewing mode can be loaded manually
into embroidery edit.
Note: A sequence can be opened in Stitch Creator and
modified. If you are doing this, your sequence will
become one stitch. When re-opening sequencing, it will
not be possible to adjust any part of the former stitches
in the sequence any more. All parts will be handled as
one stitch.
To re-load a sequence
If sewing mode is active when closing sequencing,
your sequence will be loaded to sewing mode and
is ready to be sewn. If selecting another stitch in
sewing mode and then re-opening sequencing,
your sequence will remain unchanged. Every time
sequencing is closed, the sequence will be loaded
to sewing mode.
If embroidery mode is active, your sequence will
be loaded to embroidery edit as a design. If a
sequence is selected and you re-open sequencing
from embroidery mode, the sequence will remain
unchanged. If no sequence is selected, sequencing
will be empty, ready to create something new.
Every time sequencing is closed, the sequence will
be loaded to embroidery edit.
To use sequencing in either sewing mode or
embroidery mode
A sequence created when sewing mode is active
will not be available when opening sequencing
after activating embroidery mode and vice versa.
The created sequence will not be transferred to the
other mode.
Common sequencing pop-ups
Not an editable stitch
Some stitches are not possible to insert in a
sequence, for example buttonholes and four
direction stitches.
Sequence out of range
Your programmed stitch can be up to
approximately 500mm (20”) long and contain up to
99 stitches. If the sequence exceeds the maximum
length this pop-up will let you know.
The stitch you are trying to add will make the
sequence too long.
