70 Practical Stitches – Applications
Freehand Embroidery
TIP
Freehand embroidery on a water-soluble stabilizer
Motifs can also be embroidered on water-soluble stabilizer.
Make sure that the stitches overlap so that the edge is
firmly woven. Wash out the stabilizer afterwards, appliqué
the motif onto a project.

Freehand Embroidery
freehand embroidery is used for creative
designing. With the Straight stitch No. 1 or
Zig-zag stitch No. 2 the surface of the fabric
can be covered with narrow or wide stitches
use fine to mediumweight fabrics
Preparation
draw desired motif with a pencil or marker on
the fabric
place stabilizer under fabric
stretch fabric and stabilizer into wooden
embroidery hoop (optional accessory)
use slide-on table
TIP
Additional designing possibilities
Use different threads and fabrics.
Note:
If a thick decorative thread is used as
bobbin thread, an extra bobbin case
should be purchased.
Sewing
stitch length: set on 0 and reduce upper thread
tension slightly
use Zig-zag stitch No. 2 to cover the surface of the
fabric and set stitch width according to motif
use Straight stitch No. 1 for sewing straight lines
it is recommended to start with a circular motion,
until some practice is gained
hold hoop with both hands and move smoothly.
To move up and down is easier than embroidering
sideways; turn hoop to embroider sideways
embroider rows of stitches next to each other
according to desired density
move with regular, consistent speed, if the thread
lies loose on the right side of the fabric, the stitch
area was moved too fast. If there are little knots on
the wrong side, the stitch area was moved too
slowly
