Free motion embroidery
Mark the design to be embroidered on the fabric
with wash-out marker. Place fabric and stabilizer
in an embroidery hoop. Raise the needle to its
highest position and slide the hoop under the
needle. Lower the presser foot lever.
Hold the needle thread in the left hand; turn the
handwheel toward you to bring the bobbin thread
above the fabric surface. While holding both
threads firmly, take three to five straight stitches
in one spot.
Select zigzag stitch pattern and adjust the stitch
width as desired. Stitch along the outline of the
design by moving the embroidery hoop. Make
sure to maintain a constant speed.
Fill in the design working from the outline toward
the inside. Keep the stitches close together.
You will get longer stitches by moving the hoop
faster and shorter stitches by moving the hoop
more slowly.
Secure with reinforcement stitches at the end by
pressing the auto-lock button.
Free motion monogramming
Mark the letter or letters to be monogrammed on
the fabric with wash-out marker. Place fabric
and stabilizer in an embroidery hoop. Raise the
needle to its highest position and slide the hoop
under the needle. Lower the presser foot lever.
Hold the needle thread in the left hand; turn the
handwheel toward you to bring the bobbin thread
above the fabric surface. While holding both
threads firmly, take three to five straight stitches
in one spot.
Select zigzag stitch pattern and adjust the stitch
width as desired. Sew at a consistent speed along
the lettering.
Moving the hoop faster will produce a more
loosely stitched monogram. However, moving the
hoop more slowly will result in a more densely
stitched monogram.
Secure with reinforcement stitches at the end by
pressing the auto-lock button.
* Embroidery hoop is not included with the machine.
