Darning (Contad)

FREE MOTION WORK

Embroidery—Monograms

• When opening is filled, turn work'

90

°

and continue stitching until

darn is completed.

• Run machine at moderate speed and

control hoops with a steady con­

tinuous movement. Slow movement

of hoops will produce a short stitch;

more rapid movement lengthens the

stitch.

Fairly long stitches are best for knit

and tricot fabrics; short stitches are

best for cottons and linens as they

approximate weave of fabric and are

strong enough to withstand many

launderings.

Darning and embroidery foot (avail­

able for separate purchase) provides a

close control of stitch and fabric and

aids handling of difficult materials.

Decorative designs of all kinds can

be effectively accomplished with zig­

zag stitching when the free motion

principle is used.

Design is placed in embroidery

hoops to hold fabric taut; hoops are

moved slowly so that needle follows

outline of design. Stitches are shaded

from wide to narrow by controlling

angle at which work is placed and

moved under needle.
