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.

Traditional
embroidery
techniques
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
Water-
soluble
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.
