Tapering Stitches – Menu Q
The tapering menu 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.
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 Q1 in menu Q - Decorative tapering stitches.
2. Open tapering and select 45 degrees for both beginning
and end.
Note: For a wider satin stitch, adjust the stitch width control.
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. Activate the STOP function to repeat the
previously stitched length, including the beginning and
end tapers.
