Stitch Overview
The stitches described in the below chart are utility stitches, used mainly for utility sewing.
The most frequently used stitches are printed next to the stitch selection buttons on the front of the machine (Stitch Menu 1). Those
stitches are selected by touching the corresponding button (if Menu 1 is active). Stitches on menu 1–3 are printed on the Stitch Charts
that can be pulled out at the bottom of the machine.
When sewing, use a thread tension between 3–5. Always test sew on a piece of scrap fabric, and adjust the tension if necessary.
