Sideways motion stitches are large
decorative motifs stitched in outline
which require the fabric and feed
dogs to move from side to side as
well as backwards and forwards.
Sideways motion stitches are
programmed in one size and cannot
be altered.
Note: Different types of fabric,
interfacings, and tabilizers can affect
the stitching of the motifs.
Adjustment can be made using the
Balance function (see pages 49–50).
For examples of sideways motion
stitching, refer to the artista Sewing
Manual, pages 47–49.
