Tapering

Tapering allows you to create stitches with an attractive 3-dimentional appearance, which are very easy to sew. Tapering increases or decreases the width of the stitch during sewing to create a symmetric or asymmetric tapers. On your creative 2170 you can use the tapering function on 106 stitches.

With the tapering program you can select a particular angle for the taper. The taper is automatically sewn by the machine. In the example below we have used the tapering function on stitch no. 3, the zigzag stitch.
