ii - 1 MONOG RAMS Many decorative stitches can be used to add a personal touch by monograming a dress or blouse, writing a name on children's clothes, or initialing household linens. Very simple straight-line monograms can be made with the straight stretch stitch. Use the satin stitch for script or block letters, either alone or in combination with other decorative -stitches. Try varying needle position and zig-zag width to obtain special effects. (See page 30 for machine sett ing). If stitching on very soft fabric, use a backing of tissue paper or interfacing to eliminate puckering and to prevent bobbin thread from showing on right side of fabric. Trim away excess back ing after stitching. APPLIQUES Appliques are cut-out designs of one fabric stitched to another. Use a close zig-zag stitch or fine satin stitch. Or try using other decorative stitch patterns. However, never allow stitch to be too wide.
