Eyelet embroidery Traditional eyelet embroidery which previously had to be made laboriously by hand can now be made quite easily with the help of an eyelet plate (special accessory). This is very effective on blouses, bed- or table linen. Use utility stitches such as the zigzag stitch, blind stitch, elastic stitch or fancy stit ches of the knob (model 6152, 6232). For classic eyelet embroidery, program 6, with a stitch width 3 - 5 l mm is very suitable. - Remove the sewing foot. - Set the presser bar lifter at the darning position (see page 51). - Place the eyelet plate on the needle plate, making sure pin A fits in the middle cutout of the needle plate. Then push the plate down at the front. - Place the marked fabric taut in an embroi dery hoop. Cut one or two of the fabric threads and push the fabric over the pin in the eyelet plate. The fabric must fit snugly around the pin. - Draw up the bobbin thread and hold it for the first few stitches. - You can now stitch around the cut with the selected program. When you do this it is important to turn the fabric slowly and evenly. The stitches should be very close to each other. - Afterwards secure with straight stitch. TIP: If you choose another program, e.g. a decorative stitch from the Model 6152 or 6232, or a blind stitch, in which the cut is only partly stitched around or not at all, you must then use key A to stitch around the cut. 71
