Cii 4/Ij1i -c.,_' Monograms Whether working with terry-cloth or woven fabric, with the help of the darning foot and the program G, stitch width 2.5 -5 'l, you can embroider initials of your own design. Sewing this way without a set pattern does, however, require a little practice. - Draw the initials onto the fabric with an Invisible-ink marker. - Drop the feed dog. Insert the darning foot and bring it into darning position (see page 51>. - Place Avalon under the fabric. - Spread the fabric in an embroidery hoop and embroider using the zigzag stitch. - Tie off the threads and remove the Avalon. (Any remaining pieces dissolve in water.) Tip; By sewing quickly and moving the mate rial slowly, you will achieve dense stitches. When embroidering on terry-cloth, the mono gram must first be sewn with a narrow zigzag stitch and then overstitched with a broader zigzag stitch. In this way the terry-cloth loops are completely sewn over. Embroidering block letters is somewhat easier. Here the feed dog is not dropped which means that free sewing is no longer neces sary. You can simply sew along the lines with program G, stitch width 2 5 -. 5 'I - Iron the fabric or use a paper underlay. - Before sewing, draw the monogram onto the fabric. - Sew along the lines you have sketched using the zigzag stitch.
