Long touch the icon to open a window to select to
add the basting stitch around the design area and/
or around the hoop area.
Select baste around design and the machine
will add a basting stitch around the design area,
outlining the area where the design will be placed
on the fabric. Select baste around hoop area to add
a basting stitch close to the inner edge of the hoop.
The baste stitches will be added as the À rst separate
color block(s) (A) at the beginning of the color list.
You can step stitch by stitch and step in and out of
the baste color block(s).
Note: Basting can only be enabled while on the À rst
stitch in the embroidery.
