6-16 Embroidering with the embroidery unit Traditional embroidery techniques - / 6. Embroidery Assistant - ; Richelieu work This is a very old embroidery technique, which normally consists in pre-stitching a design with the straight stitch, cutting away the fabric from the areas that will form the cutouts and finally embroidering the contours with a dense zigzag stitch. The same effects are easy to achieve with your Pfatf creative 2140. We recommend the special Richelieu cards No. 7 and No. 25, which contain a beautiful choice of Richelieu designs. And that is what you do: • Place embroidery stabilizer under the fabric. When embroidering very sensitive materials we recommend placing some additional Water-soluble stabilizer onto the fabric. • Hoop the fabric and the stabilizer. Embroider your design. You can work with one or more colors. • After completing the work, carefully remove the Watersoluble stabilizer and the embroidery stabilizer. • Now you can carefully cut away the fabric from the areas that will form the cutouts, with a pair of pointed scissors. Make sure not to damage the threads.
