The Stitches and Their Uses
These stitches are purely decorative.
You can sew one row or several or vary the
stitch width and length for special effects.
Experiment on a scrap of fabric to see what
special effects are possible.
Adjust the stitch width and length as
you desire.
Practice the stitch on a scrap of fabric.
Mark the lines for decoration on the
fabric, using a washable fabric marker.
Lower the needle at the starting point.
Lower the presser foot.
Lock the stitch at the beginning (press
auto-lock).
Gently guide the fabric along the
marked line.
Use the auto-lock to secure the row of
stitches at the end.
Helpful Hint
You may want to combine these geometric
decorative stitches with other decorative
stitches, See "Programming Decorative
Stitch Patterns" (p. 82) for detailed instruc-
tions,
