Monograms
Many decorative stitch patterns can be used tor mon­
ograms and motifs—to add a personal touch to a
blouse collar, for example, or for initialing household
linens. You can buy designs or create them yourself
to suit the stitch pattern you wi^h to use.
Very simple straight-line monograms can be made
with the plain zig-zag stitch, or you can create a motif
by arranging individual pattern units to form a design.
Refer to page 38 for information on setting selectors
for zig-zag and decorative stitching.
