Appliqués
You can create an applique by cutting a different
piece of fabric into a shape and using it as a
decoration.
1
Baste the cut design to the fabric.
2
Carefully sew around the edge of the design
with a zigzag stitch.
3
Cut away any fabric that is left outside the
stitching.
4
Remove the basting, if necessary.
Memo
● Make reinforcing straight stitches at the
beginning and the end of the zigzag
stitching.
Monogramming and
Embroidering
■ Preparing for Monogramming and Embroidering
1
Remove the power supply plug from the
outlet. Place the darning plate on the needle
plate, and reconnect the power supply plug to
the wall outlet.
2
Set the pattern selection dial to Zigzag Stitch.
3
Draw the lettering (for monogramming) or
design (for embroidering) on the surface of
the fabric.
4
Stretch the fabric between embroidery hoops
as firmly as possible, with the underside of the
fabric on the bottom of the inside hoop.
5
Put the work under the needle and lower the
presser bar with the foot removed.
6
Pull the lower thread up through the starting
position by turning the handwheel and make a
few holding stitches.
