■ Optimize hoop change
Purpose: Optimizes the sewing order of patterns in a Design Page for multi-position embroi-
dery frames (100 × 172 mm, 172 × 100 mm, 130 × 300 mm, or 300 × 130 mm)
Shortcut key: No shortcut key for this function
Toolbar: No button for this function
Operation:
1 Click Sew, then Optimize hoop change.
This setting can be turned on or off. A check mark appears when this setting is turned on; no
check mark is displayed when this setting is turned off.
NOTE:
Depending on the pattern, turning on the Optimize hoop change setting may reduce the number of
times that the embroidery frame installation position is changed. More importantly, it reduces the
chances of the embroidery not being sewn correctly or the fabric becoming wrinkled when the
embroidery frame installation position is changed too often.
When the
Optimize hoop change setting is turned
on:
The sewing order that you have set is optimized
to reduce the number of times that the embroi-
dery frame installation position is changed.
For the example shown at the right, the sewing
order is: a (pattern 1) → b (pattern 2) → a (pat-
terns 3 & 5) → c (patterns 4 & 6)
When the Optimize hoop change setting is turned
off:
Each pattern is sewn according to the sewing
order that you have set. Therefore, since the num-
ber of times for changing the embroidery frame
installation position is not optimized, it may be
changed more often than if it was optimized.
For the example shown at the right, the sewing
order is: a (pattern 1) → b (pattern 2) → a (pattern
3) → c (pattern 4) → a (pattern 5) → c (pattern 6)
