Basting Options

Basting enables you to secure your fabric to a hooped
stabilizer. It is especially useful when the fabric that is going
to be embroidered cannot be hooped. Basting provides
support for stretchy fabrics.

the fabric.

You can select both basting options to add additional

Note: When activated only the basting color blocks will be shown in the
color block list. When basting is complete the color block list will once
again show the color blocks of your design.
Tip: Touch the FIX function on your machine to activate baste around
