Color thread table Thread color display using a custom thread Additional explanations of the machine's built-in color thread table and the custom thread table are provided below. Normally, the thread colors in the thread color sequence display and in the pattern display area are displayed in the colors of the machine's builtin color thread table. The thread color numbers with these thread colors are displayed with the thread color number (or the nearest number) for the brand specified on the first page of the settings screen. Therefore, the finished embroidery colors may have a slightly different tinge. However, since the custom thread table specified on the change thread color screen in the pattern editing screen is created by specifying thread colors by the thread color numbers and color names from individual brands in the machine's built-in color library, the thread table is displayed with those original thread colors. If pattern colors changed using the custom thread table, pattern can be previewed with colors nearest to the actual embroidered thread colors. Create color thread tables from the colors of threads that you have and use them to display the patterns in your own thread colors. (Refer to "Creating a custom thread table" on page 195, and "Choosing a color from the custom thread table" on page 197 for the change thread color function.) Normal thread color display Colors of Tajima (.dst) embroidery data Tajima data (.dst) does not contain pattern color information. The data is created by combining only shapes. For example, the following embroidery data appears as shown below in the Tajima format (.dst) In order for the parts of the pattern to be differentiated when Tajima data is used with this machine, the pattern is displayed with colors automatically applied in the default thread color sequence. Since the thread colors are applied according to the sewing order of the parts, regardless of the design of the pattern, colors may be applied that seem unusual for the design, for example, an orange-colored fruit may be displayed in blue. LED lights, also indicate colors according to the sewing order, which may be not the same thread colors to be sewn. When using Tajima data, be sure to preview the sewn image on the screen and change the colors from the change thread color screen. It is recommended to try the Manual color sequence if you use Tajima data very often. Using the Manual color sequence, you can directly change the color setting according to your thread spool setting. Set "Manual Color Sequence" to "ON" in the settings screen. (Refer to page 132) 250
