Tapering Tapering allows you to create stitches with an attractive 3-dimentional appearance, which are very easy to sew. Tapering increases or decreases the width of the stitch during sewing to create a symmetric or asymmetric tapers. On your creative 2170 you can use the tapering function on 106 stitches. With the tapering program you can select a particular angle for the taper. The taper is automatically sewn by the machine. In the example below we have used the tapering function on stitch no. 3, the zigzag stitch. Decorative sewing Symmetric taper, Stitch no. 3 B Increasing the width 1. Select stitch no. 3. 2. Set the desired stitch width. 3. Touch the Tapering icon (A) and select Increase width icon (B) and set the desired angle. Touch the OK icon. The zigzag stitch starts from 0 mm and becomes wider until the selected stitch width is reached. Stitch the desired seam length. For symmetrical tapering two angles are available: 90° and 60°. If you press the reverse key anytime while sewing the machine will sew "tapering end" pattern. Reducing the width If you touch the Reduce width icon (C), the taper begins with the preset stitch width. 1. Select stitch no. 3. 2. Set the desired stitch width. 3. Touch the Tapering icon and select Reduce width icon (C) and set the desired angle. When you press the reverse button, the width of the zigzag stitch is reduced to 0 mm. Tap on the foot control or activate the Needle down icon so that the machine stops with the needle in the fabric. This makes it easier for you to pivot the fabric to stitch the corner. Press the foot control again, and the stitch width increases. 4. Press the reverse button and the width of the zigzag stitch is reduced to 0mm. 4:20 C A
