HOW TO:
1. Set the machine to the desired stitch by setting the Stitch Selector Dial to one of the decorative
stitches. (See Page 19)
2. Set the Stitch Width Dial control between 2 and 5 depending on how wide you want your stitch to
be. (See Page 19)
3. Set the Stitch Length Dial between 0.5 and 3. (See Page 19)
SEW ALONG: Crescent Stitch
Use a stabilizer (see Appendix) on the underside of the fabric if there is gathering or puckering as
you sew. Decorative stitching can be used almost anywhere on your project!
It may be helpful to decrease the upper tension by 1 or 2 numbers when sewing decorative
stitches. This will help prevent the bobbin thread from possibly showing on the top when sewing
denser stitches.
