Terminology 243 Chapter 12 Main shaft brake To fix the main shaft by brake of the main shaft motor so that the main shaft does not rotate when it stops. M-axis Drive shaft to rotate nipple or bobbin (TLMX series). Offset start position (Offset position) A frame travel start position set by operation of automatic offset. A position to make the machine stand by to facilitate changing of frame and/or fabric by moving the frame to the front automatically in the middle or at the end of embroidery.

Parameter Setting item that decides working condition of the machine. Return Stitches Tie stitch to be executed at start of sewing (stitch to prevent mis-stitching at start). Running stitch Decorative stitch of straight line or curved line only. Satin stitch Repeated zigzag stitches. It is mainly used for hem of applique, logo, mark, flower design etc. Sequin needle Needle that embroiders sequins in sequin device. It indicates the first needle or the last needle. Step The section divided by color change code in the design data. The first section is called step 1, and the next section is called step 2. Stop at the lower dead point To stop the machine with needle stuck in cloth at end of embroidery. Moving the frame in this condition will enable consecutive embroidery. Frame coordinates Frame position in embroidery space. It is indicated such as "X: -153.2, Y: +120.4". Frame Forward To move the embroidery frame only to the advancing direction of stitches with the needle bar(s) stopped. Frame Limit Limit position that the frame can move (it is indicated by mark-off line on the table). Frame origin An anchoring point to calculate the current frame position (X: 0.0, Y:0.0). Frame stepping To move the embroidery frame only with the main shaft of the machine kept stopped during embroidery. Function code Command code that controls general movements of the machine. All design data consists of function codes (Stitch, Jump, Color, etc.). Head group Function that assumes plural heads as one head by grouping them. This enables large design embroidery or multi-colored embroidery of more colors than the number of needles. Inching Movement to stabilize start of sewing by moving needle bar slowly before the main shaft starts usual operation. It is executed before thread trimming to stabilize thread trimming. Jump To make only the frame move in the state that needle bar does not move down during operation. It is possible to make a longer stitch than one stitch of the maximum length. QS04R
