Chapter 5. Machine Stitch Patterns
setting selectors
In addition to straight stitch and zig-zag stitch, your machine can produce a variety of stitch pat
terns. There are two types of stitch patterns built into your machine:
• decorative stitch pattern, illustrated above, is produced by side-to-side movement of the
needle.
• stretch stitch patterns, illustrated above, are produced by both the side-to-side movement of
the needle and the back-and-forth movement of the feed.
