UTILITY STITCHES
Free motion darning, embroidery and monogramming
1. Darning
First sew around the edges of the hole to secure the threads. Working
from left to right, sew over the hole in a constant and continuous
movement.
Turn the work by 1/4 and sew over the first stitching moving the work
slower over the hole to separate the threads and not form big gaps
between the threads.
2. Embroidery
Stitch along the outline of the design by moving the embroidery hoop.
When sewing, make sure to maintain a constant speed.
Fill in the design working from the outline towards the inside. Keep
the stitches close together.
You will get longer stitches by moving the hoop faster and shorter
stitches by moving the hoop slower.
Secure with reinforcement stitches at the end of the design.
3. Monogramming
Sew at constant speed, moving the embroidery hoop slowly along
the lettering.
When the letter is finished, secure with reinforcement stitches at the
end of the design.
Note:
Free motion darning is accomplished without the sewing machine
internal feed system. Movement of the fabric is conrolled by
the opperation. It is necessary to coordinate sewing spped and
movement of fabric.
