Decorative stitch 6-065 looks amazing! I’ll<br />
try stitching out that one.<br />
Now I’ll try out Decorative stitch 6-1<strong>13</strong>.<br />
Scrolling through the stitches<br />
As I was scrolling through the options,<br />
I selected a few different stitches and<br />
realized that instead of just replacing<br />
the previous selection, the machine<br />
was adding one repeat of each design<br />
to the one before it. The possibilities<br />
for combining stitch patterns on the<br />
Dreamweaver XE are endless! I’ll explore<br />
THAT another time!<br />
Stitch 6-065<br />
Here it is on my sample. It’s AWESOME but<br />
it also took 60 seconds to stitch out only<br />
two repeats which are just over 2” long.<br />
That would take way too much time for<br />
this quilt, but I’m definitely keeping it in<br />
mind for a future project!<br />
Stitch 6-1<strong>13</strong><br />
That one’s amazing as well but took 80<br />
seconds to stitch about 3”. Stitch 6-086,<br />
shown below, took 50 seconds to stitch<br />
the same length.<br />
Combining stitches<br />
To delete stitches I don’t want to use,<br />
I just press the delete button at the<br />
bottom of the screen.<br />
Stitch-outs<br />
Make sure to pay attention to the display<br />
on the Dreamweaver XE when selecting<br />
stitches. It shows you what size the final<br />
stitching will be by indicating the % of<br />
the actual size that is displayed. The last<br />
group of stitches in section 6 are much<br />
bigger than the other stitches that I used<br />
and the machine is only displaying them<br />
at 50% of actual size.<br />
