Sewing Sewing Programs These techniques may require some special presser feet and accessories. Tapering Stitches The Tapering commands will be visible when a stitch that can be tapered is selected. Touch the Tapering menu to open a view of angles for beginning and end tapers. Select an angle by touching it in the selection area. The machine will sew the beginning tapered point and then continue with the selected stitch. When the desired length has been sewn, touch the Reverse button. The stitch will taper to the end. Select taper Off to remove any tapering at the beginning or end of the stitch. If you select taper Off on both the beginning and end, the stitch will be a regular stitch without tapering. Note: The Tapering commands will not be visible if you select e.g. a buttonhole. Taper Satin Stitch Exercise The Taper Stitch automatically tapers the satin stitch for corners and points and can be used for satin stitch lettering. Try the satin stitch exercise and stitch a corner of the tapered satin stitch on a piece of stabilized fabric. 1. Select stitch 4.3.6 in menu 4 - satin stitches. 2. Open Tapering and select 45 degrees for both beginning and end. 3. Activate Needle Stop Up/Down on your machine and start to sew. The machine will sew the tapered point and then continue with a satin stitch at the selected width. 4. When the satin stitch is as long as desired, touch the Reverse button. This will start the end tapering. 5. Turn your fabric to continue with the next tapered satin stitch. 95
