COMBINING STITCH PATTERNS

You can combine many varieties of stitch patterns, such as character stitches, cross stitches, satin stitches, or stitches 
you design with MY CUSTOM STITCH function (see chapter 7 for information about MY CUSTOM STITCH). You 
can also combine stitch patterns of different sizes, mirror image stitch patterns, and others. 

Before Combining Patterns

Combining Patterns From Different 
Categories

Example:

a

Press .

b

Press .

c

Press .

→

The screen of pattern categories appears.

Note

• When stitch patterns are combined, the machine is automatically set to sew the pattern once. To repeatedly 

sew the combined stitch patterns, combine the patterns, and then press 

.

• You cannot change settings (such as the size and orientation) for stitch patterns once they have been 

combined. To resize or reorient the patterns, specify the settings for each pattern as it is added to the 
combination.
