file is greater than or equal to the number of
jumps specified here, those jumps will be
replaced with a jump stitch where the thread is

a Note:
Thread colors in embroidery patterns
created with this application may appear
differently on the embroidery machine,
depending on the model used.
1. Embroidery machines without a
function for displaying thread colors
The specified thread color information
cannot be displayed at all.
2. Embroidery machines with a function
for displaying thread colors
Of the thread color information specified
in the embroidery pattern, only the thread
color names are displayed on the
machine.
However, the names that are displayed
are limited to the machine's preset thread
color names. Therefore, the machine
displays the names of its preset thread
colors that are closest to the colors
specified in the embroidery pattern.
3. Embroidery machines with a thread
color index
Some machines can display the thread
information specified with this application.
However, for thread colors that have
been edited or added by the user (thread
colors with an asterisk (*) at the left side),
only the thread number is displayed.
