Notes:
• The Stitch Density of a stitch can also be increased or
decreased by using the -/+ icons under Stitch Density.
It can be changed in a decorative application to change
the stitch as you prefer, and is most effective with satin
stitches (Folder 401). Stitch Density is not available for
every stitch. (Density adjustment is not available on the B
570 QE or the 4 Series machines.)
• Elongation allows you to increase or decrease the length
of an entire stitch pattern to the size that you need. This
feature is not available for every stitch.
