20 different types of decorative stitches are available.

You can use other stitches in the same way.
* You should carry out a test sewing on a cut-off strip of the
fabric being sewn to check the pattern to be used.
* Before starting to sew, check that there is enough thread
wound onto the bobbin to make sure that the thread will not
run out during sewing.
* Slightly loosen top thread tension.
Helpful Hint: For a more pleasing appearance experiment
with a slightly lower (-) Tension setting.

TIPS ON DESIGN STITCHING

Crescent pattern on collar
This is an ideal decorative stitch for the sleeves and collars of
ladies' and children's clothes, and also for tidying up edges.
When using this stitch pattern for tidying up edges, first sew the
stitch and then trim the edge of the fabric along the edge of the
stitch. Be careful not to cut the stitch at this time.
Pyramid on bias tape
Use bias tape and fold back the edge. Sew the pyramid pattern
on top of this.
Arrowhead on lapel
In addition to using this pattern as a decorative stitch, it can also
be used as a triangular backtack stitch for reinforcing places
which can easily unravel. This is particularly useful for sewing
both edges of pockets..
Domino on bias tape
Use bias tape and fold back the edge. Sew the domino stitch
on top of this.
Diamond on narrow hem
Fold over the edge of the fabric and use this stitch to tidy up the
edge.
Scallop stitches and diamond stitches can be combined to
create other attractive patterns.
