When you start to sew again, the machine will automatically
make a taper at 45°. The present sewing operation is indicated
in the window.
• To start the pattern without a taper, press the tie-off button
(36) twice before starting to sew. Use -/+ button A to
change the width of the satin stitch before sewing.
• To sew a pattern without a taper, press the tie-off button
(36) four times before starting to sew.
• To change the width of the satin stitch and begin sewing
with a taper, press the tie-off button (36) two times, use -/+

Cross-stitch
Cross-stitch embroidery has always been a wonderful
traditional, embroidery technique.
What used to be stitched by hand with a great deal of effort can
now be sewn with the 2038 and 2048 with astonishing ease and
speed.
With cross-stitch No. 53/54 (2048) or No. 32/33 (2038), design
your own cross-stitch combinations. These patterns look as if
they were hand-embroidered and give a special touch to table
linen, towels or garments.
Tips for cross-stitching:
• Sew slowly.
• Use foot No. 2A.
• Place stabilizer under the fabric.
• You can embroider on Aida cloth as used for hand cross-
stitching. The length and width of the cross-stitches of your
expression can be altered depending on the count/size of
the Aida cloth squares.
• Use decorative threads to make your cross-stitch look more
professional.
