SEWING STITCH PATTERNS

Sewing Attractive Finishes

To achieve attractive results when sewing
character/decorative stitches, check the table
below for the proper fabric/needle/thread
combinations.
Note
• Other factors, such as fabric thickness,
stabilizer material, etc., also have an effect on
the stitch, so you should always sew a few
trial stitches before beginning your project.
• When sewing satin stitch patterns, there may
be shrinking or bunching of stitches, so be
sure to attach a stabilizer material.
• Guide the fabric with your hand to keep the
fabric feeding straight and even during
sewing.
Fabric When sewing on stretch fabrics, lightweight
fabrics, or fabrics with coarse weaves, attach
stabilizer on the wrong side of the fabric. If you do
not wish to do so, place the fabric on a thin paper
such as tracing paper.

Basic Sewing

a

b
Attach advanced monogramming foot
"N+".
c
Place the fabric under the presser foot, pull
the upper thread out to the side, and then
lower the presser foot.
d
Press the "Start/Stop" button to start
sewing.
* Begin stitching by holding the "Reverse Stitch" or
"Reinforcement Stitch" button to sew 3-4 stitches.
IMPORTANT
• When sewing 7 mm satin stitch patterns and
the stitches are bunched, lengthen the stitch
length. If you continue sewing when the
stitches are bunched, the needle may bend or
break ("Setting the Stitch Length" on page 73).
Memo
• If the fabric is pulled or pushed during sewing,
the stitch pattern may not turn out correctly.
Also, depending on the stitch pattern, there
may be movement to the left and right as well
as front and back. Guide the fabric with your
hand to keep the fabric feeding straight and
even during sewing.
