The Stitch and Its Uses
You can make beautiful designs with this
embroidery stitch pattern, an half the time
it would take if embroidered by hand. You
can also combine cross stitches with the
other decorative patterns and letters or
numbers for attractlve samplers and other
sewing projects.
Here's How
1.
Choose a plain close weave fabric such as linen
or wool flannel for the background fabric.
2. If you choose light weight fabric, use a tear-
away fabric backing for support.
3. Adjust the stitch width and length as you
desire to match the pattern you have or plan.
4. Find the center of the design, or if the design
is a border, choose a starting point.
5. Count the cross stitches from the center up
and program the number.
(See p. 8__3,Pattern Single Units.)
Use Auto-Lock to begin and end.
For Cross-Stitching Without a Pattern:
1. Start in the center of the design and sew the
first row, letting the fabric feed naturally.
2. Then count the next row of stitches to the
teft or right.
3. Add or delete stitches by pressing the Clear
button and reprogrammmg.
4. Begtn each row by lowering the needle at the
corner of a previous stttch.
5. Use the placement arrow '" _A,, on Foot F to
insure stra}ght, even rows.
