11. MoftOgmm/Freehand Embroidery; Set stitch length to 0. Remove the presser foot Draw the
monogram or design on the fabric witti a fabric marking pencil. Place the fabric in a hoop with
stabilizer under the fabric. Set the stitch width to 5. Place the hooped fabric under the needle,
be sure to lower the presser bar (this is easy to forget with no foot on the machine!) and follow
the marked latter or design with the stitching. Move the hoop without turning it. You must move
the fabric!
12. Stippling: The stippling technique is a freehand stitch for quilting. Set the stitch length to 0 .
Lower the feed teeth. Hoop the quilt or fabric. Move the fabnc under the needle to create a
wavy straight stitch quilting (stippling).
13. Twin Needle Sewing; Replace the standard needle with a twn needle (optional accessory
available at any sewing machine store). Thera are two spool pins on the top of your machine.
Place a spool on each spool pin. Thread the threads as for normal sewing but separate them
at the needle and thread one through each needle. Use straight stitch or narrow zigzag for a
decorative look.
14. Pin-fricks: Insert a twin needle (optional accessory) with 1,5mm or 2.0mm between the two
needles and thread as in number 13 above for twin needle sewing. Put on an optional applique
presser foot or optional twin needle pin-tuck foot. Stitch rows of straight stitch twin needle
sewing on a lightweight fabric.
15. Reverse Sewing: To sew backwards with a straight stitch or a zigzag push in on the reverse
button marked virith R. As long as the button is held in, the machine will sew in reverse.
16. Applique: Stitch applique designs in place with a zigzag satin stitch. Fuse the applique to the
fabric with a fusible web. Place tear-a-way stabilizer under the fabric. Try the stitch on a scrap
of stabilized fabric before sewing on your project and adjust the stitch length as needed. For
best results, thread tiie top wito a decorative rayon thread. Use medium to wide zigzag stitch.
The larger the applique, the wider the widtti. Set the stitch length at ‘1* and begin to sew on
your scrap. Turn the stitch length dial toward *0" until the zig:^g stitching is very close together
and satiny. This is called a satin stitch. An open toe applique foot, which is available as an
optional accessory, will feed smoothly over the satin stitch thanks to a tunnel on the underside
of the foot and the open toe gives visibility as you sew around the applique.
17. Straight Sfretch Stitch; Ideal for knits and seams where extra reinforcement is needed so the
seam does not pop.
