In
free-motion stitching,
you sew
without
a
presser foot
and
control fabric movement (and hence stitch length) your-
self,
by
means
of an
embroidery hoop.
Either
a
straight
or a
zigzag stitch setting
can be
used.
If
you are
embroidering,
you can
vary
the
length
of
stitches
simply
by
moving
the
hoop
faster
or
slower.
The
faster
you
move
it, the
more open
the
stitches will
be. A
slow hoop movement will produce closely
pack-
ed
stitches.
You can
also vary
the
width
of the
stitches
