Balance; Balance For Practical And Decorative Stitches - Bernina Artista 200 Manual

All stitches are checked and fully adjusted before the sewing computer leaves the factory.
Different fabrics, threads, stabilizers and interfacings can affect programmed stitches so that sometimes
they might not close or they might overlap, i.e. the stitches that make up the pattern are too close
together or too far apart.
These effects can be corrected with the electronic Balance so that the stitch formation can be adjusted
where necessary to suit the fabric.
Balance for Practical and Decorative Stitches 9mm
When sewing soft fabrics such as jersey or tricot, the fabric tends to stretch under the presser foot which
also stretches the stitch being sewn. For example, the Honeycomb stitch opens up and is too long.
Thicker fabrics might cause the stitch to overlap, making it too short. Correcting with the Balance is very
easy.
