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 Various Stitch Patterns)

  • Stitches that you create with MY CUSTOM STITCH can be a maximum of 7 mm (approx. 9/32 inch) wide and 37 mm (approx. 1-1/3 inches) long.
  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.

    • This will determine the stitch design that will be sewn.
