Combined

Borders

Following,

we

give

you

an

example

of

how

you

can

create

borders

of

any

width

by

combining

different

embroidery

programs.

Coats

Alcazar

rayon

embroidery

threads

are

very

suitable.

They

are

available

in

many

colors

and

weights.

However,

for

this

example,

only

one

weight

of

thread

was

used

for

the

embroidery

work.

Apply

iron

-on backing

or

other

stabilizer

under

the

fabric.

Mark

the

center

of

your

fabric

with

a

fabric

marking

pen/pencil.

Your

now

have

six

rows

of

embroidery

programs.

Monograms

On

terry

cloth

or

other

woven

fabric,

the

darning

foot

(2010

special

accessory)

and

program

3

(stitch

width

3

-

6

mm)

allows

you

to

monogram

any

initials

of

your

own

design.

Free

motion

guiding,

however,

does

require

a

little

practice

at

the

beginning.

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

48).

Lower

the

feed

dog.

Place

a

piece

of

water-soluble

stabilizer

on

the

right

side

of

the

fabric.

Frame

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

work

and

remove

the

stabilizer.

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,

gi-

ving

you

more

control

of

your

free

-motion

em-

broidery.

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.

On

terry

cloth,

it

is

important

to

first

sew

the

monogram

with

a

narrower

stitching.

This

first

row

of

stitching

(base

or

pad

stitching)

will

help

keep

the

loops

of

the

terry

cloth

from

poking

through

your

finished

mono-

gram

and

give

the

monogram

a

raised

or

padded

look.

After

you

have

completed

your

base

stitching,

set

the

width

of

your

zigzag

slightly

wider

and

oversew

the

monogram

again.

These

steps

will

give

your

monogram

a

more

professional

appearance.

Block

capitals

are

a

little

easier

to

embroi-

der.

The

feed

dog

does

not

need

to

be

lowe-

red;

i.e.

no

free

motion

guiding

is

required.

Simply

stitch

along

the

marked

lines

with

program

3,

stitch

width

3

-

6

mm

and

stitch

density

0.2

-

0.3

mm.

Apply

iron

-on

backing

or

other

stabilizer

under

the

fabric

and

water-soluble

stabi

izer

on

the

top

of

the

fabric.

Mark

monogram

on

the

fabric.
