Patchwork
Patchwork piecing
There are 3 stitches for seaming patchwork pieces in
this section.
The default stitch length is set at 1.8 mm, ideal for
patchwork piecing, but you can fine tune the stitch
length by pressing the “+” or “-“ key.
Attach 1/4” seam foot O, which helps you to keep a
constant 1/4” (6 mm) seam allowance.
Put 2 pieces of fabric with right sides together.
Place the patchwork pieces under the foot so that the
edge of the fabric matches the guide on the presser
foot.
When you stop the machine, a message will appear.
Press OK key and the seam length is memorized to
sew another piece in the same length.
Press key to sew in a different size.
You can seam patchwork pieces at the desired angle
without marking, by using the angle scale on the
needle plate.
Applique
Cornering for applique
You can select the normal start over or cornering
start over for applique stitches.
Cornering start over is very helpful when sewing an
applique with sharp corners.
Press the cornering key and the start over
key will change to the cornering start over key.
The machine stops with the needle in the down
position so you can pivot the fabric to change the
sewing direction.
Press the cornering start over key before
sewing in the new direction. The machine will sew the
stitch pattern from the beginning without locking
stitches.
If you select normal start over, the machine will sew
the stitch pattern with locking stitches at the beginning.
