precise corners. You can taper 27 decorative stitches to
sew unique embellishments.

I don't understand and, sadly, the person demoing did not seem to either. I'm wondering if any of you can tell me exactly what this does? I'm also wondering if the Viking Topaz 30 has this feature.

Thanks in advance.

{edited} I'm also wondering if you find your 875 noisy. Thanks.
I have a Topaz 30. Let me check. I know my Diamond has it. Okay, just checked the manual. There is a tapering satin stitch with the Topaz 30. I don't see it for any of the other designs. I think with the Diamond you can do it with any of the designs, although I have never tried it. Hope this helps.
