Whether you have artistic ability or not, with your
Touch & Sew sewing machine and a little practice
you will be able to embroider flowers on table linens,
pillow covers, and other home decorations, as well as
on dresses and blouses. If you have designing skill,
you will enjoy creating your own patterns. Otherwise,
you can buy attractive transfer patterns.

Bar-Tack Design
Prepare the machine and your fabric in the same
way as for free-motion script lettering (page 47). On
your test sample, try out different stitch width set
tings to determine the one or more best suited to your
design.
When Ailing in outlines, place stitches in parallel
lines, shifting the direction of the hoop movement as
appropriate to the design. For a smooth satin stitch
that will catch the light, place the parallel stitches
close together, moving the hoop slowly and steadily.
For an irregular texture, move the hoop more rapidly,
allowing some stitches to overlap.
A series of bar tacks can be used to form spray-like
leaves or flowers. This technique adds variety and
lightness to many designs. Leaves and petals formed
in this way may carry the thread from one bar tack
to the next. The carrying thread eliminates tying of
thread ends.
