6-10 6. Embroidery Assistant Tapering The tapering program for the zigzag stitch allows you to put your ideas into action and create embroideries with an attractive, three-dimensional appearance, which are yet very simple to handle. Tapering is a technique where the width of the zigzag stitch is increased or decreased during sewing. With the tapering program, you can select a particular angle for the taper. The taper is sewn automatically by the machine. You can choose from symmetric or asymmetric tapers at various angles. In stitch No. 3, the stitch width is altered from center needle position so that you can create different points (symmetric tapers). In stitch No. 22, the right-hand position of the needle remains constant while the left-hand position changes: using the mirror key you can reverse the needle position; this stitch is most suited for corners and border strips (asymmetric tapers). Automatic Tapering Symmetric taper, Stitch No. 3 Increasing the width Select stitch No. 3 and touch the icon. Set the desired stitch width. Switch to select and set the desired angle.

The width of the zigzag stitch is reduced to 0 mm. The machine stops with the needle in the fabric and you can pivot the fabric to stitch the corner. Press the foot control again, and the stitch width increases. It you touch •. the taper beginns with the preset stitch width.
