When you have finished sewing, use scissors

of the stitching and between the characters.
ADJUSTING STITCHES (for models
equipped with character stitches)
Your stitch pattern may sometimes turn out poorly,
depending on the type or thickness of fabric, the
stabilizer material used, sewing speed, etc. If your
sewing does not turn out well, sew trial stitches using
the same conditions as the real sewing, and adjust
the stitch pattern as shown below.
Memo
• The character stitches “034” (No. 31 + No. 34+
No. 35) are used for making adjustments.
1
Attach monogramming foot “N”.
• For details, refer to “Replacing the presser
foot” (page 23).

Combine the character stitches “034” (No.
31 + No. 34 + No. 35).
• For details, refer to “Combining characters”
(page 48).
