MONOGRAMMING
Mark the letter or letters to be monogrammed on the fab-
ric with a wash-out marker. Place the fabric and stabilizer
into a machine embroidery hoop. Raise the needle to its
highest position and slide the hoop under the needle.
Lower the presser foot lever.
To lock the stitching, set the width at 0, hold the needle
thread in the left hand and turn the hand wheel toward
you to draw up the bobbin thread [Fig. 2].
Holding
threads firmly, take three to
five stitches in one spot. Set the
stitch width to 5. Begin sewing at a medium speed. Move
the hoop left to right, forw
ard and backward, following the
marked letter [F
ig. 3].

UILTING
Baste or pin-baste the fabric, batting, and backing
together. It is not necessary to place this in a hoop.
Select a design already in the fabric or transfer your own
design using a template. Continue with the directions
above following the design line [Fig. 4].
DARNING
Place a stabilizer under the hole or tear.
Place the fabric under the foot. Lower the foot and sew,
moving the fabric from left to right and up and down
until the hole is completely covered [Fig. 5].
Use a thread to match the fabric color for a nearly
invisible mend.

Note: Relax your shoulders and breathe while
you work. Place hands firmly around the hoop,
using your index and middle fingers to guide the
fabric. Be sure to lower the presser foot lever
before sewing!

Free-motion sewing is easily accomplished. Lower the feed teeth, remove the presser foot and presser foot holder,
and attach the embroidery foot [Fig. 1]. This allows “free” movement of the fabric in any direction. Use stitch “A”
and a stitch width setting from 0-5. There is no need to adjust the stitch length because you will actually be guiding
the fabric movement. Use free-motion sewing to monogram, embroider, quilt, or darn.
