With the MY CUSTOM STITCH function, you can sew stitch patterns that you design yourself.

Drawing a sketch of the pattern

Prepare a grid sheet set.
 

1. Draw a sketch of the pattern on the grid sheet set.
   
   Draw the pattern as one continuous line and with the start point and the end point of the design at the same height.
   
   
    
2. If the pattern will be repeated, determine the space between the repeating patterns.
   
   


3. Mark the points in the pattern that are positioned at intersections in the grid, and then link those points with a continuous straight line.
   


4. Determine the sewing order.
   
   
   For a more attractive stitch, close the pattern by intersecting the line.
