FREE HAND MONOGRAMMING
For giving garments and linens a personalized touch, first transfer thedesig:
the right side of the fabric. An embroidery hoop is recommended especia
for soft fabrics and toweling.In order to monogram, you must move the f:
slowly and run the machine rapidly. Monogramming is like writing by moL
the paper under a stationary pen. Guide the fabric slowly so that the zigzag
close together like a satin stitch, but be careful that the stitches do not pile i
When guiding from side to side, move fabric slightly faster to avoid a heav
area.
Practice by forming loops. Once this is accomplished any letter is easy
Sometimes the use of paper or non-woven interfacing under the fabri
may make guiding the fabric easier. The paper or interfacing may be tor
cut away at the completion of the monogram. When monogramming tow
cellophane placed on the top will help cover loops and make the monogr
smooth. Pull or cut away remaining cellophane when finished.

APPLIQUE
Applying decorative shapes or fabric scraps to household articles and clotf
is a very interesting way of trimming an otherwise plain article. First,
the design on fabric to be appliqued, then pin or baste it securely in plac
garment. With a small straight stitch or narrow zigzag, sew around the
transferred design. After excess fabric is trimmed away, sew around the
applique with a satin stitch. For a smooth curve, stop frequently at the ins
edge of the curve to pivot the fabric slightly. Corners look much better w
the point is stitched by pivoting rather than just turned.
As with all decorative stitches, paper may be used to give more body to tt
fabric when stitching and can be torn away when the applique is complet
