Decorative
sewing
and
embmidery
techniques
This
especially
artistic
form
of
eyelet
and
insert
embroidery
is
easy
to
sew
with your
sewing
machine.
Using
a
magic
marker,
draw
your
motif
onto
the
right
side
of
the
fabric.
•
Then
place
two
layers
of
water-soluble
stabilizer
underneath
the
fabric
to
be
embroidered
and
hoop
both
the
fabric
and
the
stabilizer
into
an
embroidery
hoop.
•
Insert
decorative
embroidery
foot
number
1.
•
To
lend
more
durability
to
the
embroidery,
sew
all
of
the
contours
twice
using
the
straight
stitch
(stitch
length
approx.
1
mm).
•
Then
carefully
cut
out
the
fabric
2
mm
next
to
the
contour
from
the
areas
which
are
to
be
hollow.
The
stabilizer
must
not
move.
•
Embroider
the contours
with
a
dense
zigzag
stitch.
•
Finally,
simply
dissolve
the
stabilizer
fleece
in
cold
water
and
your
one-of-a-
kind
design
is
finished.
Traditional
eyelet
embroidery
which
previously
had
to
be
made
laboriously
by
hand
can
now be
made
quite
easily
with
the
help
of
an
eyelet
plate
(special
accessory).
This is
very
effective
on
blouses,
bed
or
table
linen.
Use
utility
stitches
such
as
the
zigzag
stitch,
blind
stitch,
or
elastic
stitch.
For
classic
eyelet
embroidery,
use
stitch
G
(1540),
E
(1530/1520),
with a
stitch
width
3-5
mm.
•
Remove
the
presser
foot.
Set
the
presser
bar
lifter at
the darning
position
(see
page
37).
•
Place
the
eyelet
plate
on
the
needle
plate,
making
sure
pin
A
fits
in
the
middle
cutout
of
the
needle
plate.
Then
push
the
plate
down
at
the
front.
•
Place
the
marked
fabric
taut
in
an
embroidery
hoop.
Cut
one
or
two
of
the
fabric
threads
and
push
the
fabric
over
the
pin
in
the
eyelet
plate.
The
fabric
must
fit
snugly
around
the
pin.
•
Draw
up
the
bobbin
thread
and
hold
it
for
the
first
few stitches.
•
Stitch
around
the
cut
with
the
selected
stitch.
It
is
important
to
turn
the
fabric
slowly
and evenly.
The
stitches
should
be
very
close
to
each
other.
•
Afterwards
secure
with straight
stitch.
