7.1 Overview Decorative Stitches

Depending on the type of material, simple or more complex decorative stitches should be selected to best
suit the material.
• Decorative stitches which are programmed with simple straight stitches are particularly appropriate for
light-weight materials, e.g. the Decorative stitch No. 101.
• Decorative stitches which are programmed with triple straight stitches or with a few satin stitches are
particularly appropriate for medium-weight materials, e.g. Decorative stitch No. 107.
• Decorative stitches which are programmed with satin stitches are particularly appropriate for heavy-
weight materials, e.g. Decorative stitch No. 401.
For a perfect stitch formation, it is of advantage to use the same thread color for upper and bobbin thread
and a stabilizer. With pile or longfiber materials, it is recommended to use an additional water-soluble
stabilizer on the right side; a stabilizer which can be easily removed after sewing.
