4-Way Stitches – Menu S
The 4-way stitch allows you to sew several sturdy stitches in
four different directions. You will have different 4-way
stitches to choose from. This is especially helpful when
patching trouser legs on a free arm. The 4-way stitches are
programmed at a fixed length and stitch width.
