Notes on programmable fill stitches and
stamps
When setting the sew type and pattern directions of
a programmable fill stitch or a stamp, lines will not
be sewn if the sew type and pattern direction
settings cause a stitch to be sewn in the same
direction as a line in the stitch pattern.
Use the Preview function to view exactly how the
stitch pattern will be sewn, and then set the stitch
direction and pattern direction according to the
selected sew type or to the effect that you want to
produce. To get an even better view, make test
samples of different settings.
Examples of programmable fill stitching:
c
“Displaying a preview of the embroidery”
on page 65 and on “Creating Custom
Stitch Patterns (Programmable Stitch
Creator)” on page 205 in the Instruction
Manual (PDF format).
