-30- Chapter 2 Creating sewing data
151-390
(1) STITCH
Select stitch type you use before converting outline data into stitch data.
STITCH Function
RUNNING Creates stitch data whose outline is sewn with running stitching.
ZIGZAG Creates stitch data required to stitch the outline with zigzag stitching of the
specified width.
(2) PITCH
You should set the pitch (interval of needle drop locations) of the stitch data before
processing the outline for stitch data.
Click on the PITCH sheet menu to input a value through the keyboard. You can enter a
value anywhere from 0.1 mm to the maximum in 0.1 mm increments.
(3) DIVISION
When the outline data is converted to stitch data, the length of outline may not be
divided perfectly with the specified pitch. In this case, you can set dividing the outline
in two ways: EQUAL or PITCH. EQUAL is that the outline can be divided perfectly by
changing the pitch (to an adjacent smaller pitch you set) so that nothing is left over;
PITCH is the outline can be divided by the specified pitch with a remainder.
Click on the check box of either EQUAL or PITCH to select the pitch division method.
Division Explanation
EQUAL Creates running data so that the line between component points whose
angles are smaller than specified vertex angle can be divided equally with
specified pitch or less without a remainder.
PITCH Creates running data so that the line between component points whose
angles are smaller than the vertex angle, can be divided with the specified
pitch, with a remainder.
(4) VERTEX ANGLE
This is used to specify the value for the angle of the component point at which you want
to make the needle drop. When the angle of the data is smaller than the vertex angle,
the needle will drop at the point regardless of the pitch setting.
Click on the VERTEX ANGLE sheet menu to input a value through the keyboard. You
can enter a value anywhere from 1
°
to 180
°
in 1
°
increments.
(5) ZIGZAG DEV (zigzag deviation)
