Sewing Instructions:

Stencil or draw your pattern onto the right side of your fabric. Hoop your fabric into the hoop supplied with the embroidery unit, and slip it under the embroidery foot.

For Thread Sketching, set your machine for Straight stitch, and stitch as if your needle is your pencil. Follow the design that you have traced onto your fabric, by moving the hoop manually.

For Thread Painting (fill-in stitches), set your machine to Zigzag stitch at the width desired and begin to fill in the design area by moving the hoop manually. To create shading in your design, change the thread color frequently, leaving a jagged edge for blending in the next color. To secure thread ends when changing colors, set stitch width to 0 and stitch in place a few times.
