7 Decorative stitches
7.1 Overview Decorative Stitches
Depending on the type of material, simple or more complex decorative stitches should be selected to best
suit the material.
• Decorative stitches which are programmed with simple straight stitches are particularly appropriate for
light-weight materials, e.g. the Decorative stitch No. 142.
• Decorative stitches which are programmed with triple straight stitches or with a few satin stitches are
particularly appropriate for medium-weight materials, e.g. Decorative stitch No. 152.
• Decorative stitches which are programmed with satin stitches are particularly appropriate for medium-
weight materials, e.g. Decorative stitch No. 142.
For a perfect stitch formation it is of advantage to use the same thread color for upper and bobbin thread
and a stabilizer. With pile or longfiber materials it is recommended to use an additional, water-soluble
stabilizer on the right side which can be easily removed after sewing.
