Creating the Leaves
• Use different widths of ribbon for the leaves and stem. Ex: use 4mm for stem and 2mm for leaves.
• Grosgrain ribbon is recommended for the first try; silk ribbon can also be used.
• Using the drawing on the previous page as a guide, position ribbon for the leaves first. Glue or pin
in place.
• Select a double needle that corresponds to the width of the selected ribbon.
• When the tip of the leaf is reached, stop sewing and secure the stitches.
• Fold the ribbon over and begin sewing again at fold.
• Repeat for the other leaf. Be sure they are close enough so the stem will cover the raw edges.
• Position the stem and stitch in place.
Creating the Fringe for the Flower
• Position the Circular Embroidery Attachment #83 on the machine and set it for a 2.5" circle.
• Mark the center of the flower on the fabric and position it on the pin of the attachment.
• Attach Tailor Tack foot #7 - select stitch #2 - SW 2mm and SL satin - Tension, 1.
• Sew in a circle. When the beginning is reached, overlap the stitching about ½".
• Gently remove the stitches from the foot.
• Use a seam sealant to secure the thread tails.
• With fine embroidery scissors, cut the loops of the stitches at the top.
• Carefully lay the stitches flat and with a narrow, close zigzag, sew down the middle of the cut
stitches to secure the threads in place.
• Fluff up the fringe around the stitching.
Flower Center
• Center a piece of narrow ribbon inside the fringed circle.
• Attach it to the fabric with a Stitch #60 and Button Sew-on Foot #18 (drop the feed dog).
• Thread the ends of the ribbon thru the holes of a 2-hole button that will become the center of
the flower. Tie the ribbon in a bow.
