DESIGNING A STITCH
By using the MY CUSTOM STITCH™ function, you 
can register stitches you have created yourself. 
You can also sew designs combining MY 
CUSTOM STITCH
™ creations with built-in 
characters (see page 128). 
a
aa aDraw the stitch design on the grid sheet 
(part code SA507, X81277-001). 
b
bb bDecide the spacing of the stitch.
* By adjusting the spacing of a stitch, you can create 
various patterns with one stitch.
c
cc
cPlace points where the pattern intersects 
with the grid, and connect all the points 
with a line.
d
dd dDetermine the x and y coordinates of each 
of the marked points. 
Memo

Stitches that you create with MY CUSTOM 
STITCH™ can be a maximum of 7 mm 
(approx. 9/32 inch) wide and 37 mm 
(approx. 1-1/3 inches) long.
 Stitches can be designed more easily with 
MY CUSTOM STITCH
™ if you first draw the 
stitch on the included grid sheet.
Memo
Simplify the design so that it can be sewn as a 
continuous line. For a more attractive stitch, 
close the design by intersecting lines.
If the design is to be repeated and linked, the 
start point and end point of the design should 
be at the same height.
Memo
This will determine the stitch design that will 
be sewn.
