CONTENTS GETTING READY SEWING BASICS UTILITY STITCHES Sewing the Various Built-In Decorative Patterns Satin stitches, cross-stitches and decorative satin stitches can be sewn. All are sewn with monogramming foot "N". Sewing beautiful patterns In order to sew the patterns correctly, the following must be considered. ■ Fabric Before sewing stretch or thin fabrics or fabrics with a coarse weave, affix the optional stabilizer material to the wrong side of the fabric or place a thin sheet of paper, such as tracing paper, under the fabric. Since material puckering or bunched stitches may occur when satin stitches are sewn, be sure to affix stabilizer material to the fabric. ■ Needles and threads When sewing thin, mediumweight or stretch fabrics, use the ball point needle. When sewing thick fabrics, use a 90/14 home sewing machine needle. In addition, 75/11 to 90/14 thread should be used. ■ Trial sewing Depending on the type and thickness of the fabric being sewn and whether or not stabilizer material is used, the desired result may not be achieved. Be sure to sew a trial piece of fabric before sewing your project. In addition, while sewing, be sure to guide the fabric with your hands in order to prevent the fabric from slipping.
