Machine Structure and Features Six-needle machine embroidering Your machine has six needles, each threaded with a different color of thread. It can sew embroidery patterns that contain several colors by automatically selecting the appropriate needle for each color. The mechanism that moves the needles up and down is called the needle bar, and the needle bars are in the needle bar case. The needle bars are named from right to left: needle bar 1, needle bar 2, needle bar 3, needle bar 4, needle bar 5, and needle bar 6. The thread colors assigned to the needle bars are listed on the screen. Thread the needle bars as indicated. 1 1 Needle bar 1 2 Needle 1 3 Needle bar case The machine automatically assigns a thread color to each needle. If a needle is already threaded by a color that will be used on the next pattern the machine will assign the color to that needle, reducing the number of thread spool changes. This also means that the machine does not always assign colors according to the needle number, it assigns colors based on the currently threaded colors. 1 The threads threaded on the needle bars are indicated as shown here. The spool pins, thread tension knobs, thread takeup levers and thread paths, mentioned when threading the upper thread, are different according to their corresponding needle bar number. Memo ● Sewing is not necessarily performed in the order of the needle bar numbers. 8
