Adjusting standard machine format settings

Tuesday, May 25, 2010
Different machines require different settings. When you select a machine format, you only modify values relevant to that machine. Typical modifiable values are maximum and minimal stitch and shortcut angle values.

Chenille Shortcut filters are provided to avoid small stitches and sharp changes in stitch direction during Chenille stitch generation. These filters operate only on Chenille stitch types and have no effect on lockstitch stitch types.

Note : Non-EMB embroidery format Chenille designs can be shortcut-checked when opened into Wilcom ES Chenille by clearing the Outlines/Objects checkbox.



Adjusting minimal stitch values

The Chenille Minimal Stitch and Shortcut Angle avoid small stitches during Chenille stitch generation. This filter operates only on Chenille stitch types and has no effect on lockstitch stitch types.

Note : Jumps in Chenille stitching after changing minimum stitch value are no longer present.



To adjust minimal stitch values

1. Access the Machine Format Values dialog.

Note : Only fields relevant to the selected machine format will appear.
