6.5 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.
> Attach the Reverse pattern foot No. 1C/1D or the Open Embroidery foot No. 20C or the Embroidery foot
No. 20D (optional accessory).
> Select a cross stitch of the Categorie 300 and combine it as desired.
> Stitch the first row using the seam guide or slide-on table 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.
6.6 Pintucks
Pintucks
This technique reduces the size of the fabric which means that always enough fabric should be calculated.
Pintucks are narrow stitched folds which are normally sewn on the fabric before cutting out the pieces for
garments or other sewing projects. They are suitable for embellishing or in combination with other heirloom
embroidery techniques.
