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 for 2024, and No. 18 for 2014, 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 for 2024, and No. 18 for 2014, 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. 96

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
for
2024,
and
No.
18
for
2014,
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
for
2024,
and
No.
18
for
2014,
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.
