Designing a Pattern
With the My Custom Stitch function, you can sew stitch patterns that you design yourself.
Drawing a sketch of the
pattern
Prepare a grid sheet set.
1
Draw a sketch of the pattern on the grid sheet
set.
Draw the pattern as one continuous line and
with the start point and the end point of the
design at the same height.
2
If the pattern will be repeated, determine the
space between the repeating patterns.
3
Mark the points in the pattern that are
positioned at intersections in the grid, and
then link those points with a continuous
straight line.
4
Determine the sewing order.
For a more attractive stitch, close the pattern
by intersecting the line.
