Decorative
sewing
and embroidery
techniques
Monograms
Whether
working
with
stretch
or
woven
fabric,
with
the
help
of
the
darning
foot
and
the
stitch
G
(1540),
E
(1530/1520),
stitch
width
2.5-5
,
you
can
embroider
initials
of
your
own
design.
Sewing
this
way
without
a
set
pattern
does,
however,
require
a
little
practice.
•
Draw
the
initials
onto
the fabric
with
an
invisible-ink
marker.
•
Drop
the
feed dog.
Insert
the
darning
foot
and
bring
it
into
darning
position
(see
page
37).
•
Place
stabilizer
under
the
fabric.
•
Hoop
the
fabric
in
an
embroidery
hoop
and
embroider
using
the
zigzag
stitch.
•
Tie
off
the
threads
and
remove
the
stabilizer.
Tip:
By
sewing
quickly
and
moving
the
material
slowly
you
will
achieve
dense
stitches.
When
embroidering
on
terry-cloth,
the
monogram
must
first be
sewn
with
a
narrow
zigzag
stitch
and
then
stitched
again
with
a
wider
zigzag
stitch.
In
this
way
the
terry-cloth
loops
are
completely
covered.
I
Embroidering
block
letters
is
somewhat
easier.
Here
the
feed
dog
is
not
dropped
which
means
that free
sewing
is
no
longer
necessary.
You
can
simply
sew
along
the
lines
with
stitch
G
(1540),
E
(1530/1520),
stitch
width
2.5-5
.
•
Place
stabilizer
under
the
fabric.
•
Before
sewing,
draw
the
monogram
onto
the
fabric.
•
Sew
along
the
lines
you
have
sketched
using
the
zigzag
stitch.
