Position and bond the fabric patch in the center of the fabric square
using 606 fusible adhesive spray.
Draw a line ½” from each side of the patch, forming a rectangle. This is
the stitching line.
Press the decorative stitch menu icon at the right side
of the screen, then select the 4-directional stitching
category. Select stitch #46 (directional blanket stitch),
then select the forward (down) direction.
Activate the Needle Down function. Position the presser foot on the
drawn line at the right side of the patch, aligning the center mark on the
foot with the line, and positioning the needle at the upper right corner of
the patch. Sew forward (down), stopping at the lower right corner of the
drawn rectangle.
Select the left direction. Sew, lightly guiding the fabric to keep the
sideways stitching on the drawn line. Stop when the needle reaches the
lower left corner of the drawn rectangle.
Select the backward (up) direction. Sew, keeping the stitching line
centered under the center mark on the foot. Stop at the upper left corner
of the drawn rectangle.
Select the right direction. Sew, lightly guiding the fabric to keep the
sideways stitching on the drawn line. Stop when the needle reaches the
upper right corner of the drawn rectangle, completing the stitching.
Bring the thread tails to the wrong side of the sample; tie by hand.
Fringe the edges of the patch between the stitching and the outer edge
of the patch.
Trim and mount the sample.
