Traditional embroidery techniques Richelieu This very artistic form of bar and eyelet embroidery is easy to create with your sewing machine. • Transfer your pattern onto the right side of the fabric using a fabric marker. • Place two layers of water-soluble stabilizer under the area to be embroidered and tightly hoop the fabric and stabilizer. • Attach foot number 0 to your machine. • To make the embroidery more stable, sew all of the contours twice using the straight stitch (stitch length approx. 1 mm). • Carefully cut away the fabric from the areas that will form the cutouts approximately 1/8ß (2 mm) from stitching. Do not cut away the stabilizer - it helps maintain the shape and stability of the areas while sewing. • Embroider the contours with a satin stitch zigzag. • When all satin stitching is completed, tear away large areas of water-soluble stabilizer and dissolve remaining small areas in water. Combined Borders (model 1042 only) You can create borders of any width by combining different embroidery programs. Tip: Apply iron-on backing or other stabilizer under the fabric. Embroidering with the twin needle (model 1042 only) Additional embroidery effects can be achieved using a twin needle. To avoid needle breakage, the twin needle spacing must not exceed 2 mm and the stitch width must not be greater than 3 mm. A description of how to thread the twin needle is found on page 38. 50
