s 1 ----- j4- ! 4 - Monograms On terry cloth or other woven fabric, the dar ning foot and program 3 (stitch width 3 - 6 mm) allow you to monogram any initials of your own design. Free motion guiding, however, does require a little practice at the beginning. 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 72). Lower the feed dog. Place a piece of water-soluble stabilizer on the right side of the fabric. Frame the fabric in an embroidery hoop and use the zigzag stitch, in varying widths, to follow your traced lines. Do not forget to use the darning position. Knot the threads on the back of your work and remove the stabilizer. The remaining watersoluble stabilizer will dissolve in water. TIP: Sewing at a medium to fast speed will allow you to move the fabric more slowly, giving you more control of your free-motion embroidery. 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 tecnnique. On terry cloth, it is important to first sew the monogram with a narrower stitching. This first row of stitching (base or pad stitching) will help keep the loops of the terry cloth from poking through your finished monogram and give the monogram a raised or padded look. After you have completed your base stitching, set the width of your zigzag slightly wider and oversew the monogram again. These steps will give your monogram a more professional appearance. Block capitals are a little easier to embroider. The feed dog does not need to be lowered; i.e. no free motion guiding is required. Simply stitch along the marked lines with program 3, stitch width 3 - 6 mm and stitch density 0.2 - 0.3 mm. Apply iron-on backing or other stabilizer under the fabric and water-soluble stabilizer on the top of the fabric. Mark the monogram on the fabric. Embroider the marked lines with the zigzag stitch. 1 20

Monograms
On
terry
cloth
or
other
woven
fabric,
the
dar
ning
foot
and
program
3
(stitch
width
3
-
6
mm)
allow
you
to
monogram
any
initials
of
your
own
design.
Free
motion
guiding,
however,
does
require
a
little
practice
at
the
beginning.
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
72).
Lower
the
feed
dog.
Place
a
piece
of
water-soluble
stabilizer
on
the
right
side
of
the
fabric.
Frame
the
fabric
in
an
embroidery
hoop
and
use
the
zigzag
stitch,
in
varying
widths,
to
follow
your
traced
lines.
Do
not
forget
to
use
the
darning
position.
Knot
the
threads
on
the
back
of
your
work
and
remove
the
stabilizer.
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,
giving
you
more
control
of
your
free-motion
embroidery.
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
tecnnique.
On
terry
cloth,
it
is
important
to
first
sew
the
monogram
with
a

stitching.
This

(base

will
help
keep
the
loops
of
the
terry
cloth
from
poking

a

After
you
have
completed
your
base
stitching,
set
the
width
of
your
zigzag
slightly
wider
and
oversew
the
monogram
again.
These
steps
will
give
your
monogram
a
more
professional
appearance.
Block
capitals
are
a
little
easier
to
embroider.
The
feed
dog
does
not
need
to
be
lowered;
i.e.
no
free
motion
guiding
is
required.
Simply
stitch
along

marked
lines
with
program
3,
stitch

-
6
mm
and
stitch
density
0.2
-

Apply
iron-on
backing
or
other
stabilizer
under
the
fabric
and
water-soluble
stabilizer
on
the
top
of
the
fabric.
Mark
the
