FREEHAND MONOGRAMMING
For giving garments and linens a personaliz­
ed touch, first transfer the design to the
right side of the fabric. An embroidery
hoop is recommended especially for soft
fabrics and toweling. (Fig. 74)
In order to monogram, you must move the
fabric slowly and run the machine rapidly.
Monogramming is like writing by moving the
paper under a stationary pen. Guide the
fabric slowly so that the zigzag falls close
together like a satin stitch, but be careful
that the stitches do not pile up. When guid­
ing from side to side, move fabric slightly
faster to avoid a heavy area.
Practice by forming loops. Once this is
accomplished any letter is easy.
Sometimes the use of paper or non-woven
interfacing under the fabric may make
guiding the fabric easier. The paper or
interfacing may be tom or cut away at the
completion of the monogram. When mono­
gramming towels, cellophane placed on the
top will help cover loops and make the
monogram
smooth. Pull or cut away
remaining cellophane when finished.
