EMBROIDERING WITH A HOOP
It is easy to follow a stamped design or to work
free hand when embroidering or monogramming.
fSee Fig. 34). Release the pressure from the foot
by pressing down the snap lock on the automatic
darner. Push the drop feed button down all the way.
Stretch the fabric in an embroidery hoop, and
place under the needle alter removing the presser
foot. Set the stitch width at the size you prefer and
lower
the presser bar lifter. Then operate the ma­
chine at a rather high speed while moving the hoop slowly with both hands. Work carefully
and be sure to keep fingers out of the path of the needle.
Should you encounter skip stitches the fabric is not streched tight enough or a darning spr­
ing is needed (see attachments available from your dealer illustrated in the back of this book )
HOW TO USE ACCESSORIES '
NARROW HEMMER. With the needle at its
highest position, replace regular presser foot with
, narrow hemmer (Fig. 35). For a plain narrow hem,
make a 1/8 inch double fold for about two inches
along edge of fabric. Hold each end of the two inch
fold,
slip underneath hemmer. Bring fold up into the
scroll of hemmer, draw forward to end and fasten with
point of needle. Lower presser bar lifter. Gently pull
ends of thread as you start stitching.
Guide material slightly to right, and it will auto­
matically take a double turn through scroll.
LACE TRIMMED HEM. To sew a narrow hem and
attach lace in one stitching, insert lace in the slot next
to needle (Fig. 30). Sew hem as above, guiding lace
under needle and hem into scroll. pjg 30
