With a little practice on your sewing machine, you will
be able to embroider flowers to decorate table linens
and other household items, as well as dresses and
blouses. If you have designing skill, you will enjoy cre-
ating your own designs. Otherwise, you can buy
attractive transfer patterns.
To embroider flower designs, prepare the machine and
your fabric by following the same steps as for script
lettering. On your test sample. try out different stitch
width settings to determine the one or more best suit-
ed to your design.
When filling in outlines, place stitches in parallel lines,
shifting the hoop movement as appropriate to the
design.
• For a smooth satin stitch that will catch the light place
the parallel stitches close together, moving the hoop
slowly and steadily.
• For an irregular texture, move the hoop more rapidly,
allowing some stitches to overlap.
A series of bar tacks can be used to form spray-like
leaves or flowers.
