Basting embroidery
Before embroidering, basting stitches can be embroidered 
along the outline of the pattern. This is useful for 
embroidering fabric that cannot have stabilizer material 
affixed with an iron or adhesive. By stitching stabilizer 
material to the fabric, shrinkage of the stitching or misaligned 
patterns can be minimized.

FUNCTIONS
Note
• It is recommended to finish combining and editing 
the pattern before selecting the basting setting. If 
the pattern is edited after selecting the basting 
setting, the basting and pattern may become 
misaligned, and the basting under the pattern may 
be difficult to remove after embroidering is 
complete.
Memo
• The higher the setting, the farther the basting is 
from the pattern.
• The setting remains selected even if the machine is 
turned off.
Note
• When   is touched, the pattern is moved to the 
center. After selecting the basting setting, move the 
pattern to the desired position.
