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.
