Stitch Limiting Options Set the machine to stitch width safety or select the size of the twin needle to limit the stitch width and stitch positioning. This will minimize the risk of breaking a needle when sewing with accessories that do not allow the use of the entire stitch width. Stitch Width Safety When selected, the machine will only allow a centered straight stitch to prevent damage to the needle, presser foot and needle plate. Select stitch width safety when using an accessory that only supports a centered needle position e.g. straight stitch presser foot. Stitch width safety will automatically be selected when the Straight Stitch Needle Plate is attached to the machine and cannot be deselected as long as the Straight Stitch Needle Plate is attached. When the Straight Stitch Needle Plate is removed you will be given the option to keep stitch width safety selected or to deselect it. When stitch width safety is activated all twin needle sizes will be disabled as they cannot be used with stitch width safety. Note: The setting is reset at the start of a new project in Getting Started or a new sewing session. Always make sure to remove any accessory that requires this setting or select the setting again after starting a new project or session. Twin Needle When a twin needle size is selected, the stitch width and stitch position of all stitches are limited according to the selected twin needle size to prevent damage to the needle, presser foot and needle plate. In Sewing Mode the Active Features will show that a twin needle is selected. When a twin needle size is selected, the stitch width safety will be disabled as it cannot be used with a twin needle. Note: The setting is reset at the start of a new project in Getting Started or a new sewing session. Always make sure to remove any accessory that requires this setting or select the setting again after starting a new project. Stitch Width Safety Twin Needle Sewing 72
