Your machine just knows what it is supposed to do...smart huh?
No, it is not necesary. x-stitch is just a type os stitch just like there is satin stitch, zig zag, etc... It should stitch just fine
I don't have to on mine. I have an Esante. As far as I know your machine would just read it as Cross Stitich and stitch it.
Thank you - that is what I thought, but then I decided it is better to be safe than sorry. :o)
