White 310 - Freehand Monogramming; Applique

FREEHAND
MONOGRAMMING
For
giving garments
and
linens
a
personaliz
ed
touch,
first
transfer
the
design to
the
right
side
of the fabric.
An
embroidery
hoop
is recommended
especially
for
soft
fabrics
and
toweling.
In
order to
monogram,
you
must
move
the
fabric slowly
and
run
the machine
rapidly.
Monogramming
is
like
writing
by
moving
the paper
under a
stationary
pen.
Guide
the
fabric
slowly
so
that
the
zigzag
falls
close
together
like
a
satin
stitch, but
be
careful
that the
stitches
do
not
pile
up.
When guiding
from
side
to
side, move
fabric slightly
faster
to
avoid
a
heavy
area.
Practice
by
forming
loops.
Once
this is
accomplished
any letter is easy.
Sometimes
the use
of
paper or
non-woven
interfacing
under
the
fabric
may
make
guiding the
fabric
easier.
The
paper
or
interfacing
may
be
torn
or
cut
away at the
completion
of the
monogram.
When mono
gramming
towels,
plastic
film placed
on the
top
will
help cover
loops
and
make
the
monogram
smooth.
Pull
or cut away
remaining
plastic
film
when
finished.

APPLIQUE
Applying
decorative
shapes of fabric
scraps
to
household
articles and
clothing is a
very
interesting
way
of trimming
an otherwise
plain
article.
First, trace
the design
on
fabric
to be appliqued,
then
pin or baste
it
securely
in
place
on garment.
With a small
straight
stitch
or
narrow
zigzag,
sew around
the traced
design.
At the
excess fabric
is
trimmed
away, sew
around
the
applique with
a satin
stitch. For
a
smooth
curve,
stop
frequently
at
the inside
edge
of
the
curve
to pivot
the fabric
slightly.
Corners
look much
better when
the
point
is
stitched
by
pivoting
rather than
just turned.
As
with all
decorative
stitches,
paper
may be
used to
give
more body to
the fabric
when
stitching
and
can be torn
away
when
the
,aPPliue
is
completed.
