Tapering
The tapering program for the zigzag stitch allows you to create stitches
with an attractive, three-dimensional appearance, which are very easy
to sew. Tapering increases or decreases the width of the zigzag stitch
during sewing to create symmetric or asymmetric tapers.
In stitch no. 3, the stitch width is altered from center needle position so
you can create satin points (symmetric tapers).
In stitch no. 33, the right position of the needle remains constant while
the left position changes; using the mirroring function you can reverse
the needle position; this stitch is most suited for corners and borders
(asymmetric tapers).
Tip: Activate needle up/down (3) when tapering
Symmetrical tapering stitch 3
Symmetrical tapering, increase. The width of the zigzag starts
with 0mm and becomes wider until it reaches 9mm.
Symmetrical tapering, decrease. The width of the zigzag stitch
starts at up to 9mm and tapers to 0mm and stops with the needle in
the lower position when the reverse button (10) is pressed.
Asymmetrical tapering stitch 33
Asymmetrical tapering, increase. Width 0mm to 9mm.
Asymmetrical tapering, decrease. Width 9mm to 0mm.
Automatic tapering stitch 3 or 33
Increase width
• Select stitch no. 3 for symmetric tapering or stitch 33, for asymetric
tapering.
• Open the more options menu (8). Activate the automatic increase
tapering function and start sewing. The zigzag starts from 0mm
and becomes wider until the preset stitch width is reached. If you
still have the more options menu open you can see that the increase
icon is automatically deactivated and the decrease icon is activated.
Stitch the desired length.
Decrease width
• Press the reverse button (10). The width of the zigzag is reduced
to 0mm. The machine stops with the needle down and you can
pivot the fabric to stitch the corner. In the more options menu the
increase icon is activated again.
• Press the foot control again, and the stitch width increases.
You can also touch the tapering decrease icon, to start sewing with the
preset stitch width and decrease.
Touch the active tapering icon to inactivate the tapering function.
Note: Depending on the type of fabric,
you might need to adjust the stitch to get
a perfect angle. Touch the balance icon
and fine tune using the function field
buttons (5).
