SEWING STITCH PATTERNS

Sewing Attractive Finishes 

To achieve attractive results when sewing character/decorative stitches, check the table below for the 
proper fabric/needle/thread combinations.

Basic Sewing

a

Select a stitch pattern. 

b

Attach monogramming foot “N”. 

c

Place the fabric under the presser foot, pull 
the upper thread out to the side, and then 
lower the presser foot. 

d

Press the “Start/Stop” button to start 
sewing.

Note

• Other factors, such as fabric thickness, stabilizer material, etc., also have an effect on the stitch, so you 

should always sew a few trial stitches before beginning your project. 

• When sewing satin stitch patterns, there may be shrinking or bunching of stitches, so be sure to attach 

a stabilizer material. 

• Guide the fabric with your hand to keep the fabric feeding straight and even during sewing.

Fabric

When sewing on stretch fabrics, lightweight fabrics, or fabrics with coarse weaves, attach stabilizer on the 
wrong side of the fabric. If you do not wish to do so, place the fabric on a thin paper such as tracing paper.

Stabilizer

c

Thin paper

Thread

#50 - #60

Needle

With lightweight, regular, or stretch fabrics: the Ball point needle (golden colored)
With heavyweight fabrics: home sewing machine needle 90/14

Presser foot

Monogramming foot “N”.
Using another presser foot may give inferior results.

 CAUTION

• When sewing 7 mm satin stitch patterns and 

the stitches are bunched, lengthen the stitch 
length. If you continue sewing when the 
stitches are bunched, the needle may bend or 
break (“Setting the Stitch Length” on page 67).
