FREEHAND MONOGRAMMING

For giving garments and linens a personaliz

ed touch, first transfer the design to the

right side of the fabric. An embroidery
hoop is recommended especially for soft

fabrics and toweling. {Fig. 77)

In order to monogram, you must move the

fabric slowly and run the machine rapidly.

Monogramming is like writing by moving the

paper under a stationary pen. Guide the
fabric slowly so that the zigzag falls close
together like a satin stitch, but be careful
that the stitches do not pile up. When guid

ing from side to side, move fabric slightly

faster to avoid a heavy area.

Practice by forming loops. Once this is
accomplished any letter is easy.

Sometimes the use of paper or non-woven

interfacing under the fabric may make

guiding the fabric easier. The paper or

interfacing may be torn or cut away at the

completion of the monogram. When mono
gramming towels, cellophane placed on the
top will help cover loops and make the
monogram

smooth.

remaining cellophane when finished.
