Monograms
Whether working with terry-cloth or woven
fabric, with the help of the darning foot and
the program G, stitch width 2.5 -5
~,
you can
embroider in itia ls of your own design.
Sewing this way without a set pattern does,
however, require a little practice.
- Draw the initials onto the fabric with an
invisible-ink marker.
- Drop the feed dog . Insert the darning foot
and bring it into darning position
(see page 51) .
- Place Avalon under the fabric .
- Spread the fabric in an embroidery hoop
and embroider using the zigzag stitch.
- Tie off the threads and remove the Avalon.
(Any remaining pieces d issolve in water.)
Tip: By sewing quickly and moving the mate-
rial slowly, you will achieve dense stitches.
When embroidering on terry-c loth, the mono-
gram must first be sewn with a narrow zigzag
stitch and then overstitched with a broader
zigzag stitch . In this way the terry-cloth loops
are completely sewn over.
Embroidering block letters is somewhat easier.
Here the feed dog is not dropped which
means that free sewing is no longer neces-
sary. You can simply sew along the lines with
program G, stitch width 2.5 - 5
~ .
- Iron the fabric or use a paper underlay.
- Before sewing, draw the monogram onto
the fabric.
- Sew along the lines you have sketched
using the zigzag stitch.
