You can make cross stitch designs with these patterns, in
half the time it would take if embroidered by hand.
Use a plain close woven fabric such as linen or wool
flannel. If you use light weight fabric, apply a tear away
backing for support.
Sew from the center of the design outward.
If you press the auto-lock button before sewing, the
machine will sew one unit of the cross stitch and stop
automatically.

Use these stitches to join two pieces of fabric to create
an open work appearance and add design interest.
Fold under each fabric edge 1.5 cm (5/8˝) and press.
Pin the two edges to paper or tear backing 0.3–0.4 cm
(1/8˝) apart.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric so the needle catches the
folded edge on each side.
After sewing is finished, tear away the paper.
