Decorative stitches
Reinforce the area to be sewn with embroidery stabilizer. The design can be drawn on the wrong side of the
fabric. You can also draw the design on the front side of the fabric. The lines can be followed with a freely
guided straight stitch using polyester, cotton or rayon thread. The rows of stitching are visible on the right
side of the fabric, and serve as reference lines for the bobbin-thread sewing.
The BSR function can be used for bobbin-thread sewing. It is recommended to guide your project at
consistent speed evenly under the needle, following the lines of the design. The stabilizer must be removed
after sewing.
Sew a sample first to check what the result looks like on the wrong side of the fabric.
Not all decorative stitches are suitable for this technique. Simple decorative stitches provide best results.
Avoid compact stitch types and satin stitches.
> Attach the Embroidery foot No. 20C or No. 20D (optional accessory).
> Touch the icon «Decorative stitches».
> Select an appropriate decorative stitch.
> Turn the «Upper Multifunctional knob» and the «Lower Multifunctional knob» to adjust the stitch length
and the stitch width so that even when sewing with thick thread a nice stitch formation can be achieved.
> Touch the icon «i»-Dialog.
> Touch the icon «Long stitch» so that the stitch pattern is sewn less densely.
> Touch the icon «Upper thread tension» to adjust the upper thread tension if necessary.
7.3 Altering the stitch density
With certain decorative stitches (e. g. No. 401) the stitch density can be altered. If the stitch density is
increased, the stitch distance is enlarged. If the stitch density is decreased, the stitch distance is shortened.
The programmed length of the stitch pattern is not affected.
> Select the decorative stitch.
> Touch the icon «i»-Dialog.
> Touch the icon «Edit pattern length/stitch density».
> Adjust the stitch density via the icons (1) «-» or «+».
