Embroidering
(illustration 48 & 49)
1. Place the embroidery plate on the needle plate.
2. Set the choice of pattern button to the required zigzag stitch.
3. Tighten the material as much as possible between the embroidery rings (not supplied, can
be obtained at speciality shops) with the inside of the material to the underside of the
inner ring.
4. Place the work underneath the needle and lower the foot lever without using the foot pedal.
5.
Turn the fly-wheel and pull the lower thread up through your work at the starting point.
Make a few attachment stitches.
6 Pick the ring up between the thumb and index finger of both hands and apply pressure to
the material with your middle and ring fingers. You can then use your little finger for
support on the outside of the ring.
COMMENTS:
a. Stitch around the outline of your design by moving the embroidery ring.
b. You can now fill your design by first sewing from the outside to the inside and then from
the inside back to the outer edge, until the entire design is completed. Ensure the stitches
run alongside each other.
c. You can create a long stitch by moving the embroidery ring quickly. A short stitch is
achieved by moving the ring slowly.
d. Sew a few straight stitches at the end to finish off.
