Script stitch is most effective for marking baby blankets,
children’s wear, household linens, lingerie or accessories.
After tracing or marking lettering on right side of fabric,
place in embroidery hoops large enough to encompass
word or initials to be worked, with right side inside hoops.
Place work under needle, lower the presser bar, position
the needle and follow the outline traced. Should thread breakage occur, check setting of needle,
decrease tension and use crisp lawn or organdy as an underlay.
SHADOW MONOGRAM
Shadow monograms have a dimensional appeal accomplished
with threads of different colors or shades and with twin needles.
Proceed as for script stitch. Limit bight to 3 or less and use
a needle thread tension slightly lighter than for script stitch.
Stitch more slowly when crossing one line of stitching over
another. Where lines cross, stitch the first line less dense and
allow the second line of stitching to be more prominent.
Move embroidery hoops in forming letters so that most of the
motion is away from you. Move hoops with the stroke of the
needle, taking care not to bend or deflect needles.
Shadow monograms are equally appropriate for linens and
wearing apparel. Fig. 177. Shadow Monogram
