For this flower arrangement, only a dense
zigzag stitch was used in combination with the
variable stitch width and the various needle
positions.
•
Place stabilizer under the fabric.
•
Draw the contures of a flower motif with a
self-erasing textile pen.
•
Set needle thread tension to “buttonhole”,
select zigzag stitch G (1540), E (1530/
1520), set stitch length to “buttonhole”.
•
Flowers:
Select center needle position
and
embroider individual petals. Adjust the stitch
width with the width dial (34) during sewing
according to the contures of the flower .
•
Leaves:

and
embroider half of the leaf. Vary the stitch
width using the width dial (27). Turn the
handwheel towards you after finishing
the first half of the leaf until the needle is
positioned in the material.
•
Turn the material 180 degrees and
embroider the other half of the leaf
Embroidering corners
By changing the stitch width during sewing
of dense zigzag stitches you can embroider
corners with 45 degree angles.
•
Set needle thread tension to “buttonhole”,
zigzag stitch G (1540), E (1530/1520), set
stitch length to “buttonhole” and stitch width
5 mm.
