FREE-MOTION EMBROIDERY
In free-motion embroidery, you control the
direction and speed of fabric movement by
means of an embroidery hoop. Stitch length is
determined by the speed at which the hoop is
moved and zig-zag stitch width is varied by
the direction of hoop movement. The hoop
should be one designed for machine use.

Hesitation embroidery is free-motion embroi
dery done at machine settings used for speed
basting (except stitch iength). The time iapse
that occurs between needle penetrations per
mits unhurried hoop movement (appreciated by
the beginner), it also permits unusually long
stitches, as weii as short ones for unique
decorative effects.

page 5, and set machine for speed basting.
See page 28.
2. Trace or transfer design outline to fabric
and center in embroidery hoop. Designs
and motifs with shaggy outlines and tex
tured surfaces are usually best.

bar, and raise bobbin thread.
4. Move hoop back and forth, filling design
with long and short stitches as in regular
free-motion embroidery.
