Decorative sewing/Specialty techniques Hemstitching This is a technique everyone recognizes - but was previously only embroidered by hand! With your expression you can produce hemstitching much quicker and easier. Special hemstitches No. 22 and 23 are built into your machine. By changing the stitch length and width you can achieve different effects. Use a wing needle for hemstitching. (A normal needle is only used for very light fabrics - size 80.) Hemstitching is most successful on woven natural fabrics from which single threads can be easily pulled. Embroidery and darning thread, particularly cotton, are very suitable. With the hemstitches on your expression, various techniques can be applied. Traditional hemstitching • Use stitches No. 22 and 23 to create lovely hemstitched holes. • Sew the appropriate program on a piece of test fabric. For pulled thread hemstitching: • Count the threads of the fabric within the area of the sewn pattern. Adjust the pattern width so the needle is not piercing a thread to be pulled, but falling to the side of the threads of your fabric. This will allow you to easily remove the threads within the pattern area. • Pull 1 - 3 threads out of the material to the right and left of the pattern. • Overstitch the remaining threads with the selected program. The needle must enter the pulled threads on both sides close to the edges. 6:14

Decorative sewing/Specialty techniques
Hemstitching
This is a technique everyone recognizes – but was
previously only embroidered by hand! With your
expression you can produce hemstitching much quicker and
easier.
Special hemstitches No. 22 and 23 are built into your
machine. By changing the stitch length and width you
can achieve different effects. Use a wing needle for
hemstitching. (A normal needle is only used for very light
fabrics – size 80.) Hemstitching is most successful on woven
natural fabrics from which single threads can be easily
pulled. Embroidery and darning thread, particularly cotton,
are very suitable. With the hemstitches on your expression,
various techniques can be applied.
Traditional hemstitching
•
Use stitches No. 22 and 23 to create lovely hemstitched
holes.
•
Sew the appropriate program on a piece of test fabric.
For pulled thread hemstitching:
•
Count the threads of the fabric within the area of the
sewn pattern. Adjust the pattern width so the needle
is not piercing a thread to be pulled, but falling to the
side of the threads of your fabric. This will allow you to
easily remove the threads within the pattern area.
•
Pull 1 - 3 threads out of the material to the right and left
of the pattern.
•
Overstitch the remaining threads with the selected
program. The needle must enter the pulled threads on
both sides close to the edges.
