Stitching Features
It comes with 586 stitching applications. A Stitch Application simply means a specific sewing technique that you can do with a selected stitch. Stitch Applications are all the different things you can do with your machine. 2 built-in lettering fonts let you personalize projects with words, phrases, or monograms. Mirror imaging inverts stitch patterns from side to side for more creative options. It has 9 styles of one-step buttonhole stitching. Buttonholes are sewn in one easy step. Just place the button in the buttonhole foot and the machine sews a buttonhole perfectly sized for that button, delivering consistent results every time. The built-in needle threader effortlessly threads the eye of the needle - eliminates eye strain and saves you time. The top drop-in bobbin is easy to thread and easy to see. The transparent bobbin and cover allow you to monitor your thread supply so you don't run out of thread in the middle of a seam. The built-in thread cutter lets you trim both the top and bobbin threads with the touch of a button. No need to draw up the bobbin thread to start sewing again. Immediately tie off the stitch and stop sewing automatically with the Tie-Off button. You can even program the machine to perform the tie-off at the end of a stitch before you start to sew. Feed teeth can be lowered for button sewing or free-motion sewing - a must-have for quilters. Simply slide the Drop Feed Lever to lower the feed teeth. Slide it back and turn the handwheel one full turn to raise the feed teeth again. Select your stitch with a simple touch of a button - the optimum stitch length and stitch width are preselected so you can start sewing faster, but stitch settings can be adjusted as desired to customize your projects. Customize the appearance of a stitch by increasing or decreasing the distance between stitches. Use this function for various stitch techniques like applique, basting, and more. The size of the stitch from left to right is adjustable, to make the stitch sew narrower or wider as desired.
