4-Way Stitches

The 4-way stitch allows you to sew several sturdy stitches in
four different directions. You will have different 4-way
stitches to choose from. This is especially helpful when
patching trouser legs on a free arm. The 4-way stitches are
programmed at a fixed length and stitch width.
8-Way Stitches
There are two different stitches, straight and reinforced
straight stitch. Touch the arrows to select one of the pre-set
sewing directions. To fine tune the direction of the stitch, use
the stitch width and stitch length controls. Program these
stitches alone or with decorative stitches from other menus
to create unique stitches or borders.

Special Stitches For Optional Presser Feet

Includes special stitches like candlewicking and edge stitches.
These techniques may require special presser feet and
accessories. This is indicated by the optional presser foot
icon on the screen.
Tip: Detailed information on the current selected stitch is shown in the
stitch information.
