Elongation
Elongation is used to lengthen satin stitches. The
entire stitch will be longer but the density will
remain the same.
If elongation is available for the selected stitch,
the Alternative (Alt) icon (A) is shown on the
screen. Touch Alt and the symbol for stitch density
changes to show an elongation symbol. Increase or
decrease the elongation of the satin stitch using “-”
and “+”.
Thread tension
Press the Information button to show the
recommended thread tension setting (B) for the
selected stitch. See page 19 on how to set and
adjust the thread tension setting.
Mirroring
For decorative effect, stitches can be mirrored
side to side or end to end. Some stitches can be
mirrored both side to side and end to end. Some
stitches, due to design or functionality, cannot
be mirrored. Buttonholes, darning stitches and
bartacks are examples of stitches that cannot be
mirrored.
To mirror stitches or sequences side to side, press
mirror side to side (C). To mirror end to end, press
mirror end to end (D).
A warning sound will be heard when trying to
