After creating an embroidery pattern made of several different parts (in Layout & Editing or Design Center), be 
sure to check the sewing order and correct it if necessary.

With Layout & Editing, the default sewing order is the order in which the elements are drawn.

With Design Center, the default sewing order is the order in which the sewing attributes are applied.

Be careful when changing the sewing order since overlapping areas may be incorrectly positioned.

• For best sewing results, set Under sewing to On when sewing wide regions.

c

• Changing the Sewing Direction setting prevents pulling-in or puckering of the stitching.

• When embroidering, use stabilizer material specifically for embroidering. Always use stabilizer material 

when embroidering lightweight or stretch fabrics, otherwise the needle may bend or break, the stitching may 
pull and pucker, or the pattern may become misaligned.

• When satin stitching is sewn in a wide area, the stitched area may shrink after sewing, depending on the 

material and the type of thread used. If this happens, switch to this alternate method: Select the fill stitch 
and use stabilizer material on the reverse side of the fabric.
