Baste; Blind Hem; Hem; Buttonholes - Viking Designer EPIC User Manual

Baste

Basting is temporary stitching for fitting garments, gathering
and marking. The JoyOS advisor™ feature automatically sets a
long stitch length and reduces the tension so the threads are
easy to remove or to pull for gathering.

Blind Hem

The blind hem creates an invisible hem on garments. There
are two types of blind hem; one is recommended for medium
to heavy fabrics, the other for stretch. The blind hem is not
suggested for light weight fabric, leather and vinyl.

Hem

The hem technique on your JoyOS advisor™ feature will select
the visible or topstitch hem that is best for your fabric weight
and type. For woven fabric, leather and vinyl a straight stitch
is selected. For stretch fabrics, stitches that stretch are
selected.

Buttonholes

The JoyOS advisor™ feature will select the best buttonhole
and stitch settings for your chosen fabric. Fabric should be
interfaced and/or stabilized where buttonholes are to be
sewn.
Tip: In your accessory tray there is a special hook where you can hang
your Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot.
Manual Buttonhole
Manual buttonholes are recommended for woven heavy
fabric. To sew a manual buttonhole, use the buttonhole foot
