Satin stitch mitered corners
Mitered corners (with an angle of 45°) can be achieved by
altering the width of the satin stitch zigzag while sewing.
• Select zigzag stitch 12 (right needle position).
• Set stitch width to 6 mm, stitch length to 0.2-0.3 mm.
• Set the needle thread tension to 3.
• Satin stitch a single straight line.
• To miter the corner, lower the needle into the fabric on
the right side of the stitch, reduce the stitch width using
the -/+ button A (1) by 0.5 mm. Sew one stitch.
• Reduce the width again by 0.5 mm and sew one stitch.
Continue until the stitch width is reduced to 0.5 mm.
• Turn the handwheel towards yourself until the needle
pierces the fabric in the right-hand position. Turn the
fabric 90° and sew one stitch.
• Increase the width by 0.5 mm to 1 mm. Sew one stitch.
• Increase the width by 0.5 mm again and sew one stitch.
Continue until the starting width is reached.
• Continue embroidering a straight line at the 6.0 mm
width.
If the corner is to run in the opposite direction, work with
the left-hand needle position (stitch 12 and "Pattern mirror
button" (30)).
Decorative buttonhole
This buttonhole is an attractive variation of the classic linen
buttonhole.
Since you determine the seam width yourself the buttonhole
can be up to 12 mm wide.
• Set stitch No. 3, stitch width 3 mm, stitch length 0.2 mm.
• Set needle thread tension at 3.
• Sew two seams 1 mm apart the length of desired
buttonhole.
• Select stitch No. 12 and stitch over the two ends with a
triangle.
• Using -/+ button A (1), alter the stitch width gradually
from 0 mm to 3 mm and back to 0 mm during sewing.
The tip of the triangle should meet in the middle of the
two seams.
