When embroidering a pattern that uses eleven or more thread colors, it is necessary to change the thread
spools. When changing the thread spools, instruction to change the thread spools will appear with the
machine automatically stopping.

Assignment of thread colors to
needle bars
Thread colors are automatically assigned by the
machine to needle bars 1 to 10, starting with the
thread colors that are sewn first. (However, if a new
pattern has thread colors that are the same as the
previously sewn pattern, the thread colors will be
assigned to the same needle bar as before,
regardless of the sewing order.)
For example, for a pattern with five thread colors
and nine thread color changes, the thread colors are
assigned as shown below.
For a pattern with eleven or more thread colors, the
thread spool information is updated when the
eleventh thread color is needed.
Afterward, the machine adjusts the assignment of
thread colors to reduce the number of times that the
thread spools will have to be changed.
For example, for a pattern with eleven thread colors
and fourteen thread color changes, the thread colors
are assigned as shown below.
Since the thread colors on needle bars 2 to 10 will
be used again after the thread spools are changed,
they will not be replaced. However, different colors
are assigned to the other needle bars.
