Backstep
With the Backstep function, you can perform
precise backwards stitching. The machine ensures that
the stitches sewn in reverse are sewn precisely over the
stitches sewn forward. This allows you to secure
decorative stitches or make individual stitch patterns
bolder by sewing over them several times.
