Normally, the machine automatically assigns thread colors to the needle bars; however, a specific thread
color can be manually assigned to a certain needle bar. If a needle bar is specified, that needle bar is
removed from the machine’s automatic assignments and the specified color remains assigned to it.
By specifically assigning often used thread colors to certain needle bars, the trouble of changing the
thread spools can be reduced.
Also, the maximum sewing speed can be specified to the assigned needle bar. It is useful when you
specially set a weak thread such as a metallic thread to the assigned needle bar.
Once a manual needle bar setting is specified, it
remains applied until the setting is cancelled.
The manual needle bar settings can be specified in
page 3 of the settings screen.

• This feature is not accessible through the embroidering screen.
• You can assign thread colors up to 9 needle bars in normal mode. When you set “Manual Color
Sequence” to “ON” in settings screen, it is available to assign up to 10 needle bars. If you assign all
the 10 needle bars in the “Manual Color Sequence” mode, and then you set the machine to the normal
mode, the setting of needle bar 10 is canceled automatically.
