Designer SE update version 12382:

This new update addresses your questions on the Sensor Q Foot for free motion and embroidery (and the optional Open Toe Free Motion Spring Foot for free motion quilting and artistry--coming as a special bonus free with the Fab-U-Motion with Stitch Regulator for a limited time only). Now simply go to the SET menu and select the Sensor Q Foot setting. Also, this new version has updates to better handle color changes during embroidery and using the STOP feature with needle down when decorative stitching.


Cut Jump Stitches - The Designer SE will automatically Cut Jump Stitches (on embroidery designs with trim commands inserted). As you embroider, the top jump stitch thread will be cut and pulled to the underside of the fabric. The Cut Jump Stitches feature is selected in the SET menu.
Important: When updating earlier Designer SE machines with version 12124 or higher the Cut Jump Stitches feature requires a mechanical upgrade by your authorized Husqvarna Viking Dealer to function properly. Until your Designer SE is upgraded, turn off Cut Jump Stitches in the SET menu.
Note: Purchase design collections marked “Cut jump stitch trim command for Designer SE” to automatically Cut Jump Stitches.
You can insert jump stitch trim commands to any design in Husqvarna Viking 4D Embroidery Software.
Some embroidery designs you purchase may have trim commands. To check this, stitch the design or open the design in Stitch Editor to see the trim commands.
