7.4 Sewing cross stitches
Cross stitching is a traditional technique, and extends the range of decorative stitches. If the cross stitches
are sewn on fabric with a linen texture, they look like hand-stitched cross stitching. When cross stitches are
sewn with cotton embroidery thread, the stitch pattern appears fuller. Cross stitches are particularly used for
home furnishing, trimmings on garments and embellishing in general. As every following line refers to the
first row, it is important to stitch the first row in a straight line.
> Fit the Reverse Pattern Foot #1C/1D or Open Embroidery Foot #20C/20D.
> Select a cross stitch of the Category 300 and combine it as desired.
> Stitch the first row using the seam guide to sew a straight line.
> Stitch the second row next to the first at a distance of one presser foot‘s width or using the seam guide.
