Manipulating Your Stitches!

I read it on the internet as I was going through quilts blogs but it was one of those moments of:  'why didn't I think of this myself!'

I hope I am not the only one who under utilizes the stitches on their sewing machine.  Just in case this is new to you also, I use a Bernina and don't know if this info is the same for other makes of sewing machines.

We all know how to shorten or lengthen the straight (1) or zig-zag (2) stitches but how about number 4.  I am not even sure what that stitch is called but ....

if you lengthen it to 3 and reduce the width to 5 then you get a long wavy stitch that works as a great top stitch.

Now isn't that the neatest thing!

Happy to learn new things!
