Altered Memory
· for all stitches and fabrics
· altered stitch length and width settings are saved
automatically
· sew a stitch (e.g. zig-zag stitch)
· select and sew a second stitch (e.g. straight stitch)
· when the first stitch (zig-zag), is recalled, all altered
settings remain
· particularly useful when alternating between two
applications, such as seaming and edge finishing

needed

turned off

TIPS
Altering stitch width and length
· the width and length of all stitches can be adjusted
to suit the fabric and type of sewing. Very convenient
when sewing a project which may require using the
same stitches repeatedly.
Changing Stitches
· alternating between sewing seams and finishing edges
is easy with altered settings for many stitches, which
remain altered once set
