Create and map out a formation of your 3 initials:
• Using the templates in the back of the instruction manual, trace monograms onto tracing paper
in a pleasing formation.
• Mark the beginning of each letter with "o" and the end with "+".
• Place the transparent compass over the first letter, positioning the center of the presser foot on
the marked ending point (+).
• Note the direction of the arrow leading to the beginning of the next letter (o).
• Count the number of arrows between the two letters. Each arrow represents one "foot" on the
memory screen.
• Repeat these steps to determine the direction and number of stitches between each letter of the
monogram.
Programming the monograms:
• Open a memory bank.
• Program the desired letters, from the monogram alphabet, into a memory bank.
Note: There are 3 sizes of mongrams - the templates are for the largest size.
• Activate the Long Stitch function.
• Press the "Directional/Quilt button", then access the 16-direction menu.
• Select straight stitch #39 and position the cursor to the right of each letter.
• Insert the appropriate number of directional stitches between each letter.
• Save in an empty memory.
Stitching the monograms:
• Position the fabric under the needle and place the Sideways Motion Foot #40 on the machine.
• Stitch the monograms using appropriate stabilizer for the fabric.
• Clip the connecting threads after all the stitching is complete.
• Trim and mount on a separate page.
