TUTORIAL 4 | HOW TO USE THE CONTROL PANEL OF YOUR EMBROIDERY MACHINE | CAMFive EMB

Let's continue with part 4 of this TUTORIAL "How to become an Embroidery Operator" Series. Is time to learn how to use the Control Panel. Know the icons you need for starting yourself in the embroidery world.

Turn on your machine to configure the Control Panel.
Introduce the USB in the port located on the right side of the screen. Wait for the machine to tell when the USB is ready to use.
Select the first window in the Control Panel, located on the upper left side of the screen marked with the number "1". *( This section shows all the saved designs in our machine's memory)

Select the USB icon so you can access and download the design.
The files will show on the screen. Select your design to work and press the icon on the right side of the screen.
That will save the design in the machine. You can take out the USB from the machine.
Select the design and start configuring the embroidery.

STEP 2 you'll find the icons and the functions to move the design.
Every click on this icon changes the orientation.
Depending on the type of embroidery you're doing, it's how the orientation is configurated.
You can mirror the design. Watch this when you're setting it.
Set the angle of the design if needed with the next icon.
You can already have your design escalated from the Wilcom software, but also you can do it on the machine the next way:
The Rep Mode icon with the options: General Rep & Part Rep.
The first does the reps without stopping the embroidery.
The second stops every time it finished an embroidery, requiring to press the start button located in the middle of the screen.
The Rep Order icon set if the embroidery goes by columns or rows.

STEP 3 we can set up the color sequence.
On this design we only need three colors.
The more colors your design has, the more tabs will appear to accommodate.
Put a number to every color on your tabs.
Check that the numbers coincide with the way the threads are set on the Top Frame.
In Step 4 you can confirm the embroidery and start the tracing.
This will depend on the frame size you choose.
Select the yellow icon with the magnifying glass to select the frame.
A tab with different kinds of frames will appear.
Select the frame you need and continue with the configuration.
The next tab will give a pre-vis of the design.
You can use the work area to trace the design.
The machine has the coordinates and the frames already programed.
You can modify or save the starting point separately, although is not recommended because of the possibility of modifying the center.
Confirm the embroidery by selecting the icon located in the lower right corner.
Then select the icon in the lower-left corner.
Once you see it on the screen, press the start button to begin the embroidery.
