FREE MOTION WORK

Decorative Designs —

The darning technique is very effective

when used for monogramming and in the

creation of decorative designs.

Trace or transfer the design to be wor

ked to the right side of the fabric. Place

the work in embroiderY hoops large

enough to encompass the entire design.

Be ^ure the fabric is held taut.

• Preparé the machine as for darning

(see

pages 27

and

28).

Designs may be "etched" by outlining

with short running stitches or filled by

placing the stitches close together, using

the, back and forth hoop motion. For a

crisp clean edge,, filled portions should

be outlined with a running stitch.

Move hoops slowly, following the out

line of the design. Maintain an even rate

of speed so that the stitches are evenly

spaced.

A test sample should be made before

proceeding with the actual work to de

termine stitch setting and: spacing. Some

fabrics may require addition of an under

lay of crisp lawn or organdie.
