TAPERING/CREATIVE EMBROIDERY
Tapering is done by gradually increasing and
decreasing the stitch width while sewing. By this
method, tapered monograms and other in­
teresting designs can be created. For tapered
rnonograms run the machine fast while turning
the width dial slowly from narrow to wide and

are tapering by holding the fabric at one point.
