Decorative stitches
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 «+».

7.4 Sewing cross stitches
Cross stitching is a traditional technique, and extends the range of decorative stitches. If the cross stitches
are sewn on fabric with a linen texture, they look like hand-stitched cross stitching. When cross stitches are
sewn with cotton embroidery thread, the stitch pattern appears fuller. Cross stitches are particularly used for
home furnishing, trimmings on garments and embellishing in general. As every following line refers to the
first row, it is important to stitch the first row in a straight line.
> Attach the Reverse pattern foot No. 1C/1D or the Open Embroidery foot No. 20C or the Embroidery foot
No. 20D (optional accessory).
> Select a cross stitch of the Categorie 300 and combine it as desired.
> Stitch the first row using the seam guide or slide-on table seam guide to sew a straight line.
> Stitch the second row next to the first at a distance of one presser foot's width or using the seam guide.
