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. 24, 25 and 26 are built into your machine. By changing the stitch length and width you can achieve different effects. Use a wing needle for hemstitching. I (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 I suitable. With the hemstitches on your Expression, various techniques can be applied. I I I ,,* ,,,. n.., 4*' *w TradAtional hemstitching • Use stitches No. 24, 25 and 26 to create lovely hemstitched holes. • Sew the appropriate program on a piece of test fabric. I 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 fabric 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. 94
