Appliqués
You can create an applique by cutting a different piece
of fabric into a shape and using it as a decoration.
1
Baste the cutout to the fabric at the desired
location.
2
Carefully sew around the edge of the cutout
using a Zigzag Stitch with a fine stitch length.
3
Cut away any fabric that is left outside the
stitching.
4
Remove the basting, if necessary.
Memo
● Make reinforcing straight stitches at the
beginning and the end of the stitching to secure
it.
Monogramming and
Embroidering
■ Preparing for sewing a Monogram and
Embroidering
1
Place the darning plate on the needle plate.
(On a machine equipped with a drop feed
lever, lower the feed dogs by setting the drop
feed lever to the up position.)
2
Set the pattern selection dial to the Zigzag
Stitch.
3
Draw the lettering (for monogramming) or
design (for embroidering) on the surface of
the fabric.
4
Stretch the fabric between embroidery hoops
as firmly as possible, with the underside of the
fabric on the bottom of the inside hoop.
5
Put the work under the needle with the
presser foot holder assembly removed.
