Embellished Stitches

Embellished stitches are decorative stitches where you can
change the appearance of the stitch after it is sewn for a
special effect. These stitches can be decorated with crystals
or cut for a tassel effect.
Tassel stitches are sewn with many threads on top of each
other. The threads can either be left as they are sewn or cut
to create a 3D effect. The long stitches should be cut at the
very edge and from the top side of the fabric. To make the
cutting easy, use a seam ripper.
Tip: For heavier threads, use the optional Specialty Candlewicking Foot
Example of tassel stitch
for easier feeding.
Crystal stitches could either be used as they are or be
embellished with crystals in the sewn circles.

Floating Stitches

Floating stitches create a special effect where the connecting
stitches are invisible. There are two different ways to use this
technique; for the first technique, attach the optional edge
joining foot, place a folded fabric centered on a piece of
stabilizer and sew along the fold. The second technique is to
sew two pieces of fabric together.
Once finished, unfold the fabric, giving it a good tug to
reveal the decorative part of the stitch to the front.

Guided Pictograms

Guided pictograms are shapes consisting of straight stitches,
used together with projection to get perfect angles.
The projected stitch guides will show in which direction to
sew the next part of the stitch until a full shape is created.
