Decorative sewing/Specialty techniques Free motion monograms Use stitch 3 (stitch width 3-6 mm) to create wonderful monogram initials of your own design. Transfer the initials with a fabric marker to the area to be embroidered. Attach the darning foot and bring it into the darning position (see page 4:11). Lower the feed dog. Place a tear-away stabilizer under your fabric. Then place a piece of water-soluble stabilizer on the right side of the fabric. Place the fabric in an embroidery hoop and use the zigzag stitch, in varying widths, to follow your traced lines. Do not forget to use the darning position. Knot the threads on the back of your project and remove the stabilizers. The remaining water-soluble stabilizer will dissolve in water. Tip: Sewing at a medium to fast speed will allow you to move the fabric more slowly, and give you more control of your freemotion monogram. A slightly faster speed will also give you more consistency in the density of your stitches. Practice on scrap fabric until you are comfortable with the free-motion technique. Block capitals are a little easier to embroider. Simply stitch along the marked lines with stitch 3, stitch width 3-6 mm and stitch density 0.2 - 0.3 mm. Apply stabilizer under the fabric and water-soluble stabilizer on the top of the fabric. Mark the monogram on the fabric. Sew along the marked lines with the zigzag stitch. 6:4
