Select the Straight stitch, then select the Multi-Directional Stitching
icon (the function only appears if the selected stitch can be sewn in
multiple directions).
Select a direction by using the stitch width knob to rotate the stitch
pattern in 0.5° steps, the stitch length knob for 1° steps or the
direct-selection buttons for rotating in 45° steps for the desired
direction. Stitch 1” to 2”.
Select a different direction. Stitch a couple inches. Select another
direction; stitch. Continue selecting directions and stitching.
Repeat, using a zigzag/satin stitch. Start at the top of the
fabric and overlapping the stitching with the previous
straight stitching.

directions while stitching; the machine does not have to be
stopped first.
