stitch Pattern Groups

There are two kinds of stitch patterns built into your

machine: Fashion Stitch patterns

and

FlexhStitch

patterns B. The Fashion Stitch patterns, colour-coded
blue on your machine, are produced by the side to side

movement of the needle. The

FlexhStitch

patterns,

color-coded green and yellow {identified by t in the

illustration at

right)

are produced by both the side to

side movement of the needle and the back and forth

movement of the feed to produce multi-purpose and

decorative stitch patterns.

The six groups of three stitches each that are built into
your machine are illustrated at right.
