MY CUSTOM STITCH

Designing a Stitch

By using the MY CUSTOM STITCH function, you can register stitches you have created yourself. You can also sew designs combining MY CUSTOM STITCH creations with built-in characters.

Combining Stitch Patterns

1. Draw the stitch design on the grid sheet.
   Place points where the stitch pattern intersects with the grid, and connect all the points with a line.

   

   Simplify the design so that it can be sewn as a continuous line. For a more attractive stitch, close the design by intersecting lines.
   
   If the design is to be repeated and linked, the start point and end point of the design should be at the same height.
   

2. Determine the x and y coordinates of each of the marked points.
