MULTI-DIRECTIONAL STITCHING

B 8 8 0 P LUS , 79 0 P LUS On ly
The B 880 PLUS and B 790 PLUS can sew Multi-directional stitches and stitch combinations in 360º. This allows
angled sewing without angling the fabric. Use Sideways Motion Foot #40C for all multi-directional sewing.
• Select the stitch, then Information ("i"), then the multi-directional icon.
• Rotate the selected stitch in 45º increments by touching one of the direct-selection nodes on the screen (indicated by the
yellow outlines in the graphics below).
• Rotate in 0.5º increments by turning the stitch width knob.
• Rotate in 1º increments by turning the stitch length knob.
• The Stitch Altering Area indicates the sewing direction of the stitch and the Start (•) and Stop (+) points of the selected
stitch.
• The Multi-directional function only appears in the "i" menu when the selected stitch can be sewn in multiple directions.
Keys to Successful Multi-Directional Stitching
• Support fabric with stabilizer.
• Attach Slide-on Table.
• Draw parallel guidelines to aid in visually keeping the fabric straight.
• Use fingertip guiding (lightly holding the fabric without inhibiting or helping it).
• Attach Sideways Motion Foot #40C.
