If you wish to embroider a whole name on a dress or
shirt, you can do so by free-motion stitching.
1. Always make a sample first to find the right stitch
width.
2. Trace or mark lettering on right side of fabric
3. If the fabric is soft or loosely woven, add an under-
lay of crisp lawn or organdy.
4. Place work in embroidery hoop. Be sure fabric is
held taut.
5. Position work under needle and lower presser bar to
engage tension.
6. Hold needle thread loosely and turn handwheel
toward you tp bring bobbin thread up through fabric
at start of design. Hold both thread ends and lower
needle into fabric.
7. Stitch following outline of lettering. Maintain an even
rate of speed for uniformly spaced stitches.
8. To produce a close satin stitch, move hoop slowly to
produce an open stitch, move hoop more rapidly.
9. To shade the lettering from wide to narrow stitching,
turn the work slightly so that you will be moving it at
an angle as you stitch.
