Miter
corner using F16 stitch and F5 (satin stitch)
I would recommend using the Clear B foot so you can see where you are stitching.
I find it best if sewing a patch to start at one corner with regular satin stitch,
F5. You will notice that this stitch is 6.0 mm wide.
I also want this satin stitch to start on the right side so I can
gauge exactly where my needle penetrates the edge of the patch
or the edge of the lines I’ve
drawn. So, I touch the side to side mirror image to reverse the direction.
Notice the inner edge of the B foot. The inner edge on the right side is aligned
on the edge of the patch or the drawn line and notice that is where the needle
is going to penetrate the fabric. I put my needle down in the fabric on the edge
of the patch or the
drawn line and I sew all the way to the first corner and stop with needle to
outside.
When you get close to that corner, slow down so you can see exactly where to
stop and make sure it stops with the needle on the right side.
Pivot 90 degrees and notice that the inner edge of that foot lines up with the
drawn line or
edge of patch.
Touch the F16 miter stitch and change the SW to 6.0 if you have the Designer
SE, so it will be the same width as the satin stitch.
Start sewing and it will sew the miter corner over the previous satin stitches
and continue sewing to the very end of the next corner being sure to keep the
inner edge of the foot aligned against the edge of the patch or drawn line.
Make sure you go slowly toward where you need to stop and stop with the needle
on the
right side.
Pivot 90 degrees, and the foot should line up perfectly with the edge of the
fabric. Touch the restart.
Stitch to the next corner the same way and remember to touch “restart” button
after you pivot.
When you get close to the last corner, slow down so that you stop at the inner
edge of the satin stitching that you started with so that the miter will
go over the top of those satin stitches to the corner.
Then touch the “reverse” button and the taper stitch will stitch to
the very end of the corner and tie off. Touch the “cutter”.
