read manufacturer. You can select between Gütermann Sulky
and Robison-Anton. Color codes from the selected manufac-
turer will be used when changing colors in a design, or when
creating a new design from stitches or fonts in your machine.
NOTE: Changing thread manufacturer setting will not
automatically convert the colors in existing designs from one
thread manufacturer to the other.

Tension/Portioning Compensations:
If you fi nd that the Thread Tension/Thread Portioning
needs to be increased or decreased for most stitches or
embroideries, you can change the general setting for
embroidering and/or sewing. You may need to adjust the
Thread Tension/Thread Portioning controls when you
regularly sew or embroider on a special fabric or use a
specialty thread.

Touch Tension/Portioning Compensations. Adjust the slider
bars to generally decrease or increase the Thread Tension/
Thread Portioning for all stitches and/or embroidery.

Touch OK.

Sensor Q-foot for embroidery:
The Sensor Q-foot is always recommended for embroidery.
When using another type of foot, e.g., the R-foot, deactivate
Sensor Q-foot for embroidery. The deLuxe™ Stitch System
will then use Thread Tension instead of Thread Portioning.
22
deLuxe™ Stitch System:
The deLuxe™ Stitch System has two ways to control the
needle thread: Thread Tension and Thread Portioning.
When activated, the machine will automatically use Thread
Portioning if possible. Depending on your other settings, the
machine will automatically use Thread Tension in some cases,
e.g., when Free Motion is active.
