Free-motion monograms Use stitch 3 (stitch width 3-6 mm) to create wonderful monogram initials of your own design. 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 63). Lower the feed dog. Place a tear-away stabilizer under your fabric. Then place a piece of water-soluble stabilizer on the right side of the fabric. Place the fabric in an embroidery hoop and use the zigzag stitch, in varying widths, to follow your traced lines. L Do not forget to use the darning position. Knot the threads on the back of your project and remove the stabilizers. 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, and give you more control of your free-motion monogram. 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. Block capitals are a little easier to embroider. Simply stitch along the marked lines with stitch 3, stitch width 3-6 mm and stitch density 0.2 - 0.3 mm. Apply stabilizer under the fabric and water-soluble stabilizer on the top of the fabric. Mark the monogram on the fabric. Sew along the marked lines with the zigzag stitch. 86

with
a fabric
marker
to
the
area
to
be
embroidered.
Attach
the
