Frequently Asked Questions:

• What should I do if my embroidery design is too thick or too thin?
  Avoid resizing the embroidery design on your machine by more than 20% larger or smaller than the original size to preserve the design's density and integrity.
• Which embroidery file formats are compatible with my machine?
  Your machine can work with a variety of embroidery file formats, including EXP, DST, PES, PEC, JEF, PCS, SEW, and XXX, allowing for flexibility across different brands.
• Why aren't the connecting stitches being cut during embroidery? 
  First, check if the "Cut connecting stitches" option is activated in stitching mode. If the stitches still aren't being cut, the preset cut length might be too long. You can adjust this setting by going to "Setup," selecting "Embroidery settings," then "Automatic cut," and reducing the cut length value.
