FREE-MOTION 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.

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 [F

ig. 2].

Holding

threads firmly, take three to

five stitches in one spot. Set the

stitch width to 5. Begin sewing at a medium speed. Mo

the hoop left to right, forward and bac

kward, following the

marked letter [Fig. 3].

OUTLINE QUILTING

Baste or pin-baste the fabric, batting, and bac

king

together

. It is not necessary to place this in a hoop.

Select a design alread

y 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.

fabric. Be sure to lower the presser foot lever

before sewing!
