Stitch Creator
With Stitch Creator you can customize and create your own stitches.
You can add, erase, move and combine the stitches directly on screen.
Create a stitch pattern of individually designed stitches, or by using the
9 mm stitches, patterns and alphabets.
Note: When sewing a stitch pattern the feed dogs are engaged.
When you open Stitch Creator you have an empty workspace on the
screen.
The workspace is for a 9 mm stitch width. In the middle of the
workspace there is a vertical purple line that indicates the center of the
stitch pattern with 4.5 mm stitch width on each side (R).
For more exact positioning activate the grid in the Context menu (S).
