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.

7.4 Sewing cross stitches

Cross stitch embroidery is a traditional technique and a charming addition to the other decorative stitches. If
the cross stitches are sewn on a fabric with a linen texture, they look like hand-stitched cross stitching. When
cross stitches are sewn with embroidery yarn, 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.
> Fit the Reverse pattern foot No. 1C/1D or Open embroidery foot No. 20C or Embroidery foot No. 20C
(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.
