My Stitches
On Menu U, you can customize a favorite stitch
menu, saving your own personal settings for a
stitch. This menu is called “My Stitches” (Menu
U) and is shown on the Main Menu with a heart
symbol. On “My Stitches” you can save 30 stit-
ches with adjustments made in
(length,
width, elongation and mirroring) and with set-
tings made in
(tension, balance and pres -
ser foot pressure). To save your favorite stitch/
setting, go to
and select . Menu U will
pop-up. Touch the desired position for your
stitch. The original stitch number is shown in
brackets after the U stitch number.
Note: Stitches from Menu S and Menu T cannot be
saved on Menu U.
When there are no free positions available or if
you want to replace a stitch, touch an occupied
position and its stitch will be replaced by the
new one. To delete a stitch from Menu U, select
the stitch then access . Press
and the
active stitch will be deleted. The next stitch will
be selected instead (You can see the selected
stitch to the left on the screen). You can repeat
the procedure until all stitches are deleted. When
Menu U is empty, straight stitch (A02) will be
selected automatically.
Special Stitches
For free motion sewing, darning, quilting, bas-
ting and free hand embroidery touch Menu V.
There are four stitch types available, V01, straight
stitch, V02, zigzag and V03 and V04, basting stit-
ches. Lower the feed teeth and for V01 and V02
snap on the R foot or one of the optional free
motion feet. When free motion (free hand) se-
wing at slow speed (less than 200 rpm) the press-
ser foot moves up and down. The foot is down
when the needle is down to hold the fabric in
place while the stitch is formed. The foot is rai-
sed with the needle so the fabric can be moved
without the risk of ben ding the needle. At faster
sewing speeds (over 200 rpm) the foot stays in
the glide (pivot) po si tion so the fabric can be
moved easily for free motion sewing. Use stitch
V03 and V04 together with the foot control. If
STOP button is canceled you will have automatic
timing. Step on foot control and feed the fabric
manually while the presser foot is up. V03 is a
straight stitch and stitch V04 moves sideways.
