1. Forward/Back - Traverse through stitches in a design. Choose From:

   3. n ST - Press Forward/Back to move by a number of stitches at a time. Determined by how long the Forward or Back button is held. The pantograph does not move until the SET button is pressed

   Toggle through the options by using the right arrow key on Hoop Position.
   
   
2. Trim Length - Determines the thread length tail at the end of a trim. Choose from 1 (Shortest) to 5 (Longest). Default is set at 3. A higher number helps when utilizing trims between small letters
   
   
3. Trim Jump - Trims performed automatically on data having continuous jumps more that the set value.  In the Designer Series Software the jump code default is set at 3.  Each time the machine sees three jump stitches it performs a trim.
   
   
4. Satin Adjustment - Add up to .5mm in the horizontal (X) and/or vertical (Y) direction.
   
   
5. Hoop Speed - Control the amount of friction between the fabric and the needle plate.  The default is one.  For heavy garments, such as wool a higher setting (3) is recommended.
   
   
6. Bobbin Counter - (860 only) Press the Right Hoop Position arrow and toggle to CNT.  Arrow down to the preset number line.  Use the right arrow for increments of 100. Start out with 36,000.  Place a fresh bobbin into the bobbin case.  Once the machine has stitched the preset number the Lower Thread Run Out sensor will activate.
   
   
7. Lock Stitch - Adds a lock stitch to the design prior to a trim.
   
   
8. Embroidery Information - Displays the number of garments stitched out as a running tally of stitches sewn.  Arrow down to Errors for information on any difficulty the machine has had.
