Sewing the Various Built-in Decorative Patterns
Memo
• If a new pattern is selected without deleting the
previously selected one, the first and second
patterns are combined. (Refer to "Combining
patterns" on page D-5.)
• If two patterns or more have been already
selected, the pattern that was selected last is
removed.
Note
• Other factors, such as fabric thickness, stabilizer
material, etc., also have an effect on the stitch,
so you should always sew a few trial stitches
before beginning your project.
• It may be necessary to adjust the pattern,
depending on the type of fabric being sewn or
the sewing speed. Adjust the pattern while
sewing trial stitches on a scrap piece of fabric
that is the same as what is used in your project.
Refer to "Realigning the pattern" on page D-10.
• When sewing satin stitch patterns, there may be
shrinking or bunching of stitches, so be sure to
attach a stabilizer material.
• Guide the fabric with your hand to keep the
fabric feeding straight and even during sewing.
When sewing on stretch fabrics, lightweight
fabrics, or fabrics with coarse weaves, attach
stabilizer on the wrong side of the fabric. An
alternative would be to place the fabric on thin
paper such as tracing paper.
