VARIOUS EMBROIDERING FUNCTIONS
E-84
Uninterrupted Embroidering
(Monochrome - Using a Single
Color)
A selected pattern can be stitched out in one color
instead of multicolor. The machine will hesitate
but not stop between color steps, and then
continue till the pattern is completed. Press
for the multicolor steps to become shaded and the
selected pattern will embroider in a single color,
instead of changing the thread while
embroidering. Press again to return to the
pattern’s original settings.
Basting Embroidery
Before embroidering, basting stitches can be sewn
along the outline of the pattern. This is useful for
embroidering fabric that cannot have stabilizer
material affixed with an iron or adhesive. By
stitching stabilizer material to the fabric, shrinkage
of the stitching or misaligned pattern can be
minimized.

Note
• It is recommended to finish combining and
editing the pattern before selecting the
basting setting. If the pattern is edited after
selecting the basting setting, the basting
and pattern may become misaligned, and
the basting under the pattern may be
difficult to remove after embroidering is
complete.
Memo
• The higher the setting, the farther the
basting is from the pattern.
• The setting remains selected even if the
machine is turned off.
Note
• When is pressed, the pattern is moved
to the center. After selecting the basting
setting, move the pattern to the desired
position.
