I created several stitches today including a few different types of appliqué type stitches and the serpentine. I drew out the curve I wanted on the grid and plotted it out. It took a couple of tries, but it came out great. I'm using it now to do quilting large top. The throat space is small compared to my other machines, but the ability to create your own stitches is so cool. Mermaid, yours is even more advanced than my model. I have to enter every grid spot by number in the program. It's pretty tedious. But for buttonhole type appliqué stitches etc. it doesn't take that long. I always use the serpentine stitch on my Berninas and Elnas so it's really nice to be able to use it on this machine too.
