3:8 Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques Richelieu This artistic form of eyelet and insert embroidery is easy to sew with your sewing machine. • Using a magic marker, draw your motif onto the right side of the fabric. • Then place two layers of water-soluble stabilizer underneath the fabric to be embroidered and hoop both the fabric and the stabilizer into an embroidery hoop. • Insert decorative embroidery foot number 1. • To lend more durability to the embroidery, sew all of the contours twice using the straight stitch (stitch length approx. 1 mm). • Then carefully cut out the fabric 2 mm next to the contour from the areas which are to be hollow. The stabilizer must not move. • Embroider the contours with a dense zigzag stitch. • Finally, simply dissolve the stabilizer in cold water and your one-of-a-kind design is Ànished. 3:8 Eyelet embroidery Traditional eyelet embroidery which previously had to be made laboriously by hand can now be made quite easily with the help of an eyelet plate (special accessory). This is very effective on blouses, bed or table linen. Use utility stitches such as the zigzag stitch, blindhem stitch, or elastic stitch. . For classic eyelet embroidery, use stitch G (1546), E (1536/1526), with a stitch width 3-5 mm. • Remove the presser foot. Set the presser bar lifter at the darning position (see page 2:17). • Place the eyelet plate on the needle plate, making sure pin A Àts in the middle cutout of the needle plate. Then push the plate down at the front. • Place the marked fabric taut in an embroidery hoop. Cut one or two of the fabric threads and push the fabric over the pin in the eyelet plate. The fabric must Àt snugly around the pin. • Draw up the bobbin thread and hold it for the Àrst few stitches. • Stitch around the cut with the selected stitch. It is important to turn the fabric slowly and evenly. The stitches should be very close to each other. • Afterwards secure with straight stitch.
