Row 8 - Pattern Extend 2-5x
Owner's manual pg____
• Select stitch #414; engage Pattern Repeat 1x. Sew one stitch pattern.
• Engage Pattern Extend 2x; sew one stitch pattern.
• Engage Pattern Extend 3x; sew one stitch pattern.
• Engage Pattern Extend 4x; sew one stitch pattern.
• Engage Pattern Extend 5x; sew one stitch pattern.
Note: As the stitch pattern is lengthened, the stitch density is maintained.
• Your artista 200 also limits the Pattern Extend capacity of stitches within your machine to ensure
the best results for your sewing projects.
• Touch the CLR button to cancel active functions.
Row 9 - Balance
Owner's manual pg____
Balance is a function generally reserved for "fine tuning" the appearance of a stitch based on
sewing variations due to differences in fabrics and threads. Balance, however, can also be used as
a creative tool to manipulate the look of a stitch. For example, it can be used to alter the appear-
ance of stipple stitch #327.
• Select stitch #327; engage Pattern Repeat 1x.
• Sew. You may prefer a less compact stipple stitch, so engage Pattern Repeat 2x and adjust the
stitch length to 3mm.
• Sew. The stitch has been opened up a bit, but you can use the Balance function to do even more.
• Select the Balance function. Two pictures appear on the screen: the two images show the stitch in
its original form. Using the Stitch Length knob, adjust the stitch image on the right so that it looks
exactly like the stitch sample sewn on your fabric. Touch OK; the artista automatically corrects the
stitch while sewing, calculating the proper balance to achieve the appearance of the original stitch
(left screen).
• In this exercise we want to use the Balance function to manipulate the look of a stitch, not to correct
it. Adjust the balance using the Stitch Length knob; turn until -5 is selected. Touch OK and stitch.
• Touch the CLR button to cancel the active functions.
Row 10 - Security Program
Owner's manual pg____
• The Security Program safely restricts the sideways motion of the needle when using Double, Triple,
Wing and Double Wing needles, and/or the Straight Stitch or 5mm Stitch Plates. When active, the
Security Program affects ALL stitches.
• Select stitch #406 and Pattern Repeat 2x. Sew.
• Activate the Security Program; select Double Needle 8.0. Touch OK. Sew.
• Continue this process for the remaining Double Needle options: 6.0, 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, and 1.0.
• When all Double Needle stitching is complete, touch the CLR button. Notice that it DOES NOT
CLEAR the Security Program.
• Turn your artista off. Turn it back on. Notice that the Security Program is still active, and that a
message appears on the screen reminding you of this.
• The Security Program can only be deactivated by selecting the Security Program and manually
selecting the Single Needle and 9mm Stitch Plate options.
