When scalloping is used as an edge finish, allow
sufficient margin of fabric beyond the desired edge
to fit the hoop. To maintain parallel stitches, scab
lops are followed without turning, the work
remaining in line with the feed at all times. The
points of the scallops are formed by lightly moving
the work to the right or left, automaticallv pro**
embroidery can be e^ectively accomplished with
the
2 ig%ag stitch when the free vaoiion principle is
em* ployed.
Trace or mark the design on the right side of
the fabric. Place the work in embroidery hoops,
keeping the fabric taut.
Remove the pressor foot an attach feed cover
plate to machine bed in place of regular throat
plate. Set Selector at BL and stitch width lever at
desired setting.
Position the work under the needle and lower
the presser bar to activate the tension. Bring the
bobbin thread up through the fabric. Hold both
thread ends and start stitdiing after positioning
needle in fabric.
Move the hoops slowly following the outline of
the design. Maintain an even rate of speed so that
the stitches are uniformly placed. Shading the
stitches from wide to narrow is controlled by the
angle at which the work is placed and moved under
the needle.
Some fabrics may require the addition of an
underlay of crisp muslin or organdy. The darning
and embroidery foot (available separately) will
also contribute to the smmoth handling of difficult
m^aterials as it provides a close control of both
