APPLIQUÉ, MONOGRAMMING AND EMBROIDERING
Zigzag stitches can be used for sewing appliqués, monogramming and embroidering.
Appliqués
You can create an appliqué by cutting a different
piece of fabric into a shape and using it as a
decoration.
a
Baste the cut design to the fabric.
b
Carefully sew around the edge of the design.
Memo
● Make reinforcing straight stitches at the
beginning and the end of stitching.
c
Cut away any fabric that is left outside the
stitching.
d
Remove the basting, if necessary.
Monogramming and
embroidering
a
Place the darning plate on the needle plate as
shown below, and then remove both the
presser foot and presser foot holder assembly.
b
Draw the lettering (for monogramming) or
design (for embroidering) on the surface of
the fabric.
c
Put the fabric in the embroidery hoop with
the surface of the fabric facing up inside the
well.
d
Place the project under the needle and lower
the presser bar.
e
Draw up the lower thread through the project
at the starting position by turning the
handwheel toward you (counterclockwise),
and then sew a few stitches to reinforce the
stitching.
