Designing a Stitch
By using the MY CUSTOM STITCH function, you can
register stitches you have created yourself. You can also
sew designs combining MY CUSTOM STITCH creations
with built-in characters (page D-2).
Memo
• Stitches that you create with MY CUSTOM
STITCH can be a maximum of 7 mm (approx. 9/32
inch) wide and 37 mm (approx. 1-1/3 inches) long.
• Stitches can be designed more easily with MY
CUSTOM STITCH if you first draw the stitch on
the included grid sheet.
a
Draw the stitch design on the grid sheet.
Memo
• Simplify the design so that it can be sewn as a
continuous line. For a more attractive stitch, close
the design by intersecting lines.
If the design is to be repeated and linked, the start
point and end point of the design should be at the
same height.

various patterns with one stitch.

and connect all the points with a line.

marked points.
Memo
• This will determine the stitch design that will be
sewn.
