BERNINA Embroidery - Tool Tip - Lettering

[@bayareaquilting332]

I'd like to know your settings pertaining to the cut feature. To use or not to use. I have several lines with sentences. I don't want the lines between each lettering but I want it to emboidery out smoothly.

The jump stitch length can be set between 1-15mm depending on the size of your lettering.

If you set the Jump Stitch Length at 1, it will cut every jump stitch that is 1 mm and above. This basically means there will be a lot of thread cuts. It will cut between each letter of a sentence. This does keep you from having to clip on the front, but will be a hairy mess on the back. If the project will be lined, this is not a problem. But on the back of a towel, it can be very unsightly. If you set the jump stitch at 3 mm, it will cut the jumps that are 3 mm or longer. This means there will be more thread jumps on the front, but fewer on the back. Many times jumps between letters are not that visible anyway. 6 mm is the default. This would probably cut few of the jumps on the front side of the fabric. The long and short of it is that you need to experiment a bit with the lettering before stitching on the actual project to determine which setting you would prefer.

Hi Gillian - yes, you can size the lettering in one dimension but not the other by using the size motif function.
