In this exercise, you will plot, program, and stitch a monogram, using the
directional straight stitch to move from the end of one letter to the beginning of
the next. Using the Long Stitch function omits every other stitch point in the 9mm
long directional stitch, making it easy to remove connecting stitches. Using the
Securing function ensures that letters are securely "tied" at the ends.
In Combi-mode select the Monograms from the Lettering menu Select B and K.
Directional stitches will be placed between the B and the K. Scroll up to place
the cursor at the lower edge of the B.
Select stitch # 39 to insert the first directional stitch and to activate the compass.
Locate the ending mark (red
the K. The goal is to use directional stitches to sew from the last stitch in the B
to the first stitch in the K and to position the K below and to the right of the B.
Study the Monogram Sample. In what compass direction will the artista need
to sew to move from the last stitch in the B to the first stitch in the K? (Try this
without looking at the Monogram and Compass templates.) With the cursor
positioned at the bottom of the first directional stitch, move
it is in the correct direction. Touch stitch #39 to insert a 2nd directional stitch.
Touch the Multi Function button and select Preview. Touch the Binocular icon
to view a virtual representation of the letter placement. Is the K is too close
to the B? Touch esc and insert additional stitches as needed. Preview the
combination and continue adding and adjusting stitch direction until the letter
placement is correct.
Add the long stitch function to each directional stitch. Add the securing function
to the beginning and end of the combination.
Place stabilizer behind fabric, bonding with a light application of HRFive spray
adhesive. Mark a large + shape on the fabric as a reference guide. Position
the stabilized fabric under Sideways Motion Foot #40. Engage Pattern Begin
and Pattern Repeat 1X. As you stitch, guide the fabric, keeping the sides of the
presser foot parallel to the guiding lines drawn on the fabric. Clip and remove
the basting stitches between the monogram letters.
Note: Some adjustments to stitch combination formulas may be necessary
depending on the fabric, thread, and stabilizer used to create the stitch sample.
