UTILITY STITCHES
Sewing the Various Built-in Decorative Patterns
You can sew decorative stitches, satin stitches, cross stitches, decorative satin stitches, combined utility
stitches and 3 types of character stitches. All are sewn with monogramming foot “N”.
Sewing beautiful patterns
In order to sew the patterns correctly, the following
must be considered.
■
Fabric
Before sewing stretch or thin fabrics or fabrics
with a coarse weave, affix stabilizer material to
the wrong side of the fabric or place a thin sheet
of paper, such as tracing paper, under the fabric.
Since material puckering or bunched stitches may
occur when satin stitches are sewn, be sure to
affix stabilizer material to the fabric.
■
Needles and threads
When sewing thin, medium weight or stretch
fabrics, use the ball point needle. When sewing
thick fabrics, use a 90/14 home sewing machine
needle. In addition, 50 to 60 weight thread
should be used.
■
Trial sewing
Depending on the type and thickness of the fabric
being sewn and whether or not stabilizer material
is used, the desired result may not be achieved.
Be sure to sew a trial piece of fabric before
sewing your project. In addition, while sewing, be
sure to guide the fabric with your hands in order
to prevent the fabric from slipping.

Sew reinforcement stitches.
When sewing with a character stitch,
reinforcement stitches are automatically sewn
after each character.
• When sewing a pattern with a stitch other
than a character stitch, it is useful to first set
the automatic reverse/reinforcement stitching
setting. For details, refer to “Automatically
sewing reverse/reinforcement stitches” (page
59).
When you are finished sewing, use scissors to
trim off any excess threads at the beginning of
the stitching and between the patterns.
