Making Adjustments

Your stitch pattern may sometimes turn out poorly, depending on the type or thickness of fabric, the stabilizer material used, sewing speed, etc. If your sewing does not turn out well, sew trial stitches using the same conditions as the real sewing, and adjust the stitch pattern as explained below. If the stitch pattern does not turn out well even after making adjustments based on the stitch pattern described below, make adjustments for each stitch pattern individually.

This adjustment can be made to 1-36 Quilting stippling stitch, 2-21 Decorative stippling stitch, 4-23 Eyelet stitch, 4-24 Star eyelet stitch, Q-15 Quilting stippling stitch and stitch patterns from the following categories.

  1. Touch and select stitch (6-268).

  2. Attach the monogramming foot “N” and sew the stitch pattern.

    Be sure to use the monogramming foot “N”. Adjustments may not be made correctly with any other presser foot.

  3. Compare the finished stitch pattern to the illustration of the correct stitch pattern below.

  4. Touch , and then adjust the stitch pattern with the [Fine Adjust Verti.] or [Fine Adjust Horiz.] displays.
