Arrange stitches within a sewing sequence

To obtain wider borders, you can save connecting stitches in your sewing sequence. These connecting stitches make it possible to move stitches in various directions. This results in new shapes and large-area borders. Connecting stitches are straight stitches with a length of 1 mm. They can be made in 16 different directions.

More than one stitch will often be needed to render stitches visually distinct from one another. When using connecting stitches, it is very important to note where the stitch you are using starts and ends.

The stitches are sewn in the direction chosen from the end of the stitch. The next stitch starts at the end of the last jump stitch.

1.A stitch is placed in the middle of the working area.

2.When you touch the 8 directions sewing (E), a screen opens where you can enter the direction (use the arrow icons). Confirm each connecting stitch with Confirm icon (O). In this example we have put 6 stitches in the direction shown on the screen.

3Save your input by touching OK, the window is then closed. If you touch ESC and the window is closed without any changes being saved.

4.The cursor line shows the end of the connecting stitches at the point where the following stitches will be added.

5.Touch the Mini main menu to call up each additional stitch that you wish to include in the sewing sequence. We have added the flower no. 165, 4 more times but in different angles.

More options for adjusting a sewing sequence are accessed by touching the More options icon (J).

The last stitch in a sequence is always marked and followed by a cursor line marking the point where next stitch will be added.

Tip: Borders with connecting stitches are neatest if the connecting stitches are covered by the actual stitch (in this case the flowers) itself.
