For the example shown on page 204, the sewing order is: a (pattern 1) → b (pattern 2) → a (patterns 3 & 5) → c (patterns 4 & 6) If the Optimize hoop change function is not selected, each pattern is sewn according to the sewing order that you have set. Therefore, since the number of times for changing the hoop installation position is not optimized, it may be changed more often than if it was optimized. For the example shown on page 204, the sewing order is: a (pattern 1) → b (pattern 2) → a (pattern 3) → c (pattern 4) → a (pattern 5) → c (pattern 6) a Note: Since the pattern may not be sewn correctly or the fabric may not feed evenly if the hoop installation position is changed too often, we recommend selecting the Optimize hoop change function. Selecting this function will change the sewing order that you have set, therefore, check the sewing order before you begin embroidering.
