Row 1 - Motor Speed
Owner's manual pg____
• Select straight stitch #1; sew down the 9" width of the fabric.
• Touching the Motor Speed symbol, change speeds as you sew.
• The artista 200 has four motor speed settings.
• Note that your artista 200 will automatically limit the sewing speed of certain stitches, such as Sideways
Motion motifs. This is to assist in successful guiding and stitching of these designs.
• In section H of this book, you will learn more about altering the maximum sewing speed through the
Setup menu.
• When stitching is complete, touch the Motor Speed symbol until full sewing speed is active again.
Note: Touching the CLR button will not restore the Motor Speed to full; this must be done manually.
Row 2 - Needle Stop Adjustment
Owner's manual pg____
• Engage the Needle Stop Adjustment function so that the needle will stop DOWN in the fabric.
• Sew part of the row; stop.
• Using the heel of your foot, tap the foot control once to raise the needle.
• Continue sewing; stop again. Notice that the machine stops instantly, without coasting. This is one of
the benefits of a DC motor.
• When stitching is complete, touch the Needle Stop Adjustment symbol to engage the Needle Stop UP
feature.
Note: Touching the CLR button will not restore the Needle Stop position to UP;
this must be done manually.
Row 3 - Continuous Reverse
Owner's manual pg____
• Select running stitch #4; sew approximately 3". Using the Free Hand System, raise the presser foot
and move the fabric to the left about ¼".
• Select the Continuous Reverse function and continue stitching back to the beginning of the row.
• Use the Automatic Thread Cutter to clip the threads.
• Reposition the fabric approximately 1" below the previous stitching.
• Touch the Continuous Reverse function again to deactivate it.
• Select stitch #1; sew about 3-4" more; stop.
• Engage the Continuous Reverse function again.
• Sew. Notice that the reverse stitches are the same length as the forward ones and that the machine
tracks perfectly.
• Use the Automatic Thread Cutter to clip the threads.
• Touch the external CLR button to turn off the function.
Row 4 - Basting with the Long Stitch Function
Owner's manual pg____
• Select stitch #1.
• Sew for approximately 1".
• Engage the Long Stitch function and sew another 2-3".
• Adjust the stitch length to maximum and continue to sew.
• Before finishing the row of stitching, touch the external CLR button to cancel the alterations and turn off
the long Stitch function. Finish sewing the row. This is an effective way to secure basting stitches.
