You can make beautiful designs with this embroidery
stitch pattern, in half the time it would take if
embroidered by hand.
• Starting to sew
Choose a plain close weave fabric such as linen or
wool flannel for the background fabric. If you choose
light weight fabric, use a tear away backing for
support.
Adjust the stitch width as you desire to match the
pattern.
Sew outward from the center of the design.
Use the placement arrow “
∆
” on the foot F to insure
straight, even rows.
