Darning (Contad)
FREE MOTION WORK
Embroidery—Monograms
• When opening is filled, turn work'
90
°
and continue stitching until
darn is completed.
• Run machine at moderate speed and
control hoops with a steady con
tinuous movement. Slow movement
of hoops will produce a short stitch;
more rapid movement lengthens the
stitch.
Fairly long stitches are best for knit
and tricot fabrics; short stitches are
best for cottons and linens as they
approximate weave of fabric and are
strong enough to withstand many
launderings.
Darning and embroidery foot (avail
able for separate purchase) provides a
close control of stitch and fabric and
aids handling of difficult materials.
Decorative designs of all kinds can
be effectively accomplished with zig
zag stitching when the free motion
principle is used.
Design is placed in embroidery
hoops to hold fabric taut; hoops are
moved slowly so that needle follows
outline of design. Stitches are shaded
from wide to narrow by controlling
angle at which work is placed and
moved under needle.
