Row 11 - Stitch Counter Seam
Owner's manual pg____
The Stitch Counter function of your artista is not for buttonholes only. It can also be used to measure
and stitch seams of a specific length. Useful for patchwork piecing and other seaming techniques.
• Select stitch #326.
• Select the Stitch Counter function.
• Mark a 3" seam length on the fabric by drawing two parallel lines, 3" apart.
• Stitch along the marked line. When the desired length is sewn, press the Quick Reverse button. The
seam is now programmed.
• Move the fabric back to the beginning of the seam. Sew. The artista automatically stops at the end of
the programmed seam.
• Stitch the programmed seam again.
• A variety of stitches can be sewn using the Stitch Counter function. Several are found in the Practical
stitch menu, such as Zigzag and Blindstitch. Others include the Blanket and Double Blanket stitches
from the Quilting stitch menu.
