When free motion (free hand) sewing at slow speed
(less than 200 rpm) the presser foot moves up and
down. The foot is down when the needle is down
to hold the fabric in place while the stitch is formed.
The foot is raised with the needle so the fabric can
be moved without risk ing to bend the needle. At
faster sew ing speeds (over 200 rpm) the foot stays in
the glide (pivot) position so the fabric can be moved
easily for free motion sewing.
Free Motion Embellishment
Use free motion sewing to embellish clothing and
accessories.
• Thread the machine with embroidery thread on
top and bobbin. Hoop the fabric with stabilizer
in the optional free motion embroidery hoop. It
is essential that the fabric is very tight. Slide the
hooped fabric under the needle and touch
.
• Turn the hand wheel to pull the bobbin thread
up through the fabric and hold both threads to
prevent them from being dragged down.
• Start sewing, not too slowly, moving the hoop
about smoothly. The speed of the machine and
the speed in which you are moving the hoop
determine the size of the stitch.
Jewelry
Use the free motion stitches to make jewelry.
• Hoop water-soluble stabilizer and sew in dif fe rent
directions to create a lace effect of the thread or
sandwich threads and pieces of yarns between two
layers of water-soluble stabilizer and hoop.
• Thread the machine with transparent thread on
top and bobbin and sew over it several times to
hold the yarns together. Rinse off the stabilizer and
you will have beautiful thread decorations.
Experiment with textures by moving the hoop in circles or in
backwards and forwards movements. With some practice and
cre a tiv i ty you can create anything you can im ag ine.
