7.3 Sewing cross stitches
Cross stitch embroidery is a traditional technique and a charming addition to the other decorative stitches. If
the cross stitches are sewn on a fabric with a linen texture, they look like hand-stitched cross stitching. When
cross stitches are sewn with embroidery yarn, the stitch pattern appears fuller. Cross stitches are particularly
used for home furnishing, trimmings on garments and embellishing in general. As every following line refers
to the first row, it is important to stitch the first row in a straight line.
> Attach the Reverse pattern foot No. 1 or the Open Embroidery foot No. 20.
> Select a cross stitch of the Categorie 300 and combine it as desired.
> Stitch the first row using the seam guide or slide-on table seam guide to sew a straight line.
> Stitch the second row next to the first at a distance of one presser foot's width or using the seam guide.
