how to setup long trimer in swf embroidery machine

The top thread is tied to the bottom of the garment with the bobbin thread. On the left side of the triangle will be the rest of the top thread. ON the right side of the triangle will be a top thread and the bobbin thread. The selectors job is to penetrate a triangle of top thread and bobbin thread from the bottom side of the garment to the bobbin case/rotary hook area. The problem MJ is having is because the selector is out of adjustment. I have learned that there is no 'sweet spot' because there are so many variables. Maybe somebody could take the time to do a posting on this subject because my search didn't turn up much. I recently received a nice explanation of the relationship between column & fill feed settings and thread feed. It just occurred to me that increasing the number of inching stitches might also help has anyone tried this?Īs far as the thread feed, I'll leave this to wiser heads than mine. If you do your own digitizing, you could also lay in a walk stitch under the first element to allow the thread to catch before the element actually sews. I have this problem when I sew with metallics and have learned to digitize tie-ins where needed. I have found that the longer the starting stitches, the more likely it is that the bobbin won't catch immediately.

The inching stitches (the first few slow stitches as the machine starts sewing) are supposed to allow the upper thread to catch, but sometimes it just doesn't do it for as much as a dozen stitches.

I may be wrong, but I think the length of tail settings determine the length of both bobbin and upper thread left on the back of the embroidery after a trim, not the length left in the machine after cutting - this cannot be adjusted.
