to correct it.
Fabric, thread stabilizers, and interfacings can affect
sideways motion stitches so correcting with balance will
sometimes be necessary.
Balance
· select sideways motion stitch or motif
· touch b to activate balance
· balance screen appears
· when balancing sideways motion stitches, the selected
motif is always shown
· the stitch appears in the center of the left half of the
screen
· two malformations are displayed either side of the
stitch – left too short and right too long
· the right half of the screen shows the horizontal
balance possibilities
Use these
arrows to
correct hori-
zontal distor-
tions
Vertical corrections
· if the appearance of the sewn stitch is similar to the
one on the right of the screen, use the right arrow to
correct; the pattern will be shortened
· if the appearance of the sewn stitch is similar to the
one on the left of the screen, use the left arrow to
correct; the pattern will be lengthened
· 1–5 steps are normally sufficient to correct the stitch
vertically (max. 50 steps)
· if more than 10 steps are necessary, the stitch will
become smaller
· sew a test and make additional corrections if needed
Horizontal corrections
· the horizontal balance is shown in the right half of the
screen
· the stitch might possibly become too wide after vertical
corrections have been made, i.e. the center line of the
stitch becomes distorted
· if the center of the stitch has been pulled to the right,
correct with the left arrow
· if the center of the stitch has been pulled to the left,
correct with the right arrow
· 5–10 steps are normally sufficient to correct the stitch
horizontally (max. 20 steps)
· sew a test and make additional corrections if needed
Returning to stitch screen
· after all corrections are made, touch OK to confirm the
changes and return to the stitch screen
· touching reset will return the stitch to the same
condition as when the balance function was opened
