Multi-Directional Stitching

Even though Multi-Directional stitching is a feature found on the artista 730 and the

BERNINA 830, it is not the same on both models. The descriptions below give an overview of each type.

artista 730

Access the 16-directional sewing menu using the Decorative Stitch Menu; scroll and select the 16-directional

sewing folder. Important points to notice about the screen are:

• There are two stitch choices for directional

stitching, Straight (#39) and Zigzag (#40).

• There are 16 directions in which to stitch,

numbered consecutively in a clockwise manner

around the presser foot graphic. The arrows

indicate the orientation of the stitching in relation

to the presser foot, and are shown in the same

orientation as they are sewn.

• The Stitch Altering Area indicates the Start (•)

and Stop (+) points of the directional stitches.

• The default Straight stitch length is 1mm. This

length can be reduced.

• The default Zigzag stitch width is 6mm and can

be varied from 0 to 9mm.

• The default Zigzag stitch length is 0.45mm and

can be varied from 0mm to 1mm.

BERNINA 830

The multi-directional stitching feature of the 830 offers sewing in 360º for single stitches and for stitch combi-

nations.

• Rotate the selected stitch in 45º increments

by touching one of the direct-selection

buttons on the screen.

• Rotate in 0.5º increments by turning the

stitch width knob.

• Rotate in 1º increments by turning the

stitch length knob.

• The Stitch Altering Area indicates the

sewing direction of the stitch and the

Start (•) and Stop (+) points of the

selected stitch.

• The Multi-directional function only appears

if the selected stitch can be sewn in multiple

directions.

Keys to Successful Multi-Directional Stitching

• Support fabric with stabilizer

• Attach Slide-on Table

• Draw parallel guidelines to aid in visually keeping the fabric straight

• Use fingertip guiding

• Attach Sideways Motion Foot #40C

• Use Pattern End to check position

7/27/11

Free-Form Directional Stitching

Place stabilizer behind fabric; mark parallel guide lines about 1” apart

on the fabric as a reference for guiding during the stitching process.

artista 730

Press the Decorative Stitch Menu icon at the right side of the screen,

then select the 16-directional stitching folder.

Select directional Straight stitch #39, then choose a direction from

the compass template that appears on the screen. The stitch

direction is chosen by pressing the clockwise and counterclockwise

arrows; the red line indicates the stitch direction. Stitch 1”-2”.

Select a different direction. Stitch a couple inches. Select another

direction; stitch. Continue selecting directions and stitching.

Repeat using directional Zigzag stitch #40. Start at the top of the

fabric, overlapping the stitching with the previous straight stitching.

BERNINA 830

Select the Straight stitch, then select the Multi-Directional Stitching

icon (the function only appears if the selected stitch can be sewn in

multiple directions).

Select a direction by using the stitch width knob to rotate the stitch

pattern in 0.5° steps, the stitch length knob for 1° steps or the

direct-selection buttons for rotating in 45° steps for the desired

direction. Stitch 1” to 2”.

Select a different direction. Stitch a couple inches. Select another

direction; stitch. Continue selecting directions and stitching.

Repeat, using a zigzag/satin stitch. Start at the top of the

fabric and overlapping the stitching with the previous

straight stitching.

Note: The artista 730 and the BERNINA 830 can change

directions while stitching; the machine does not have to be

stopped first.

surface of the fabric.

thread, and stabilizer used to create the stitch sample.
