PREPARING FOR MONOGRAMMING AND EMBROIDERING
1. Remove the power supply plug from the outlet. And place the

darning plate on the needle plate as shown in fig. A. Connect the
power supply plug into a wall outlet.

2. Set the Pattern Selection Dial to the appropriate Zigzag Stitch

setting.

3. Draw the lettering (for monogramming) or design (for embroi-

dering) 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. Place the work under the needle and lower the presser bar with

the foot removed.

6. Pull the lower thread up through the work at the starting position

by turning the balance wheel and make a few holding stitches.

7. Grip the hoop with the thumb and forefingers of both hands while

pressing the fabric with the middle and third fingers and support-
ing the outside of the hoop with your smaller fingers.

MONOGRAMMING
1. Sew, moving the hoop slowly along the lettering at a constant

speed.

2. Secure with a few straight stitches at the end of the last letter.

EMBROIDERING
1. Stitch the outline of the design by moving the embroidery hoop.
2. Fill in the design alternating from the outline of the design to the

inside and from the inside to the edge of the outline until the
design is completely filled in. Keep the stitching close together.

NOTE:
A long stitch is made by moving the embroidery hoop rapidly and a
short stitch is made by moving it slowly.

3. Secure with a few Straight Stitches at the end of the design.
