Embroidering Borders

• embroidered borders can be made either from several small

motifs or from long rows of aligned motifs

• borders are perfect for decorative embellishment of table and

bedlinen, drapery and skirt hems, etc.

Preparation

 use basting stitch (stitch No. 21) on sewing computer or an air

or water soluble marker (test first on fabric remnant) to mark

the center of the border

 sub-divide border: measure length of the whole border as well

as of one single motif or repeat (the size of one motif is

displayed on the embroidery computer)

 divide the whole length of border by the length of one motif

or repeat to get the number of motifs or repeats that can be

stitched on the border

•

the remaining length is the distance between the individual

motifs (divide length by one motif less than calculated,

e.g. 8 motifs or repeats: divide total length by 7)

•

for a wider distance between the individual motifs, stitch

fewer motifs

 mark individual motif center

• in continuous motifs, the end point of one motif is often the

start point of the next one, so the positioning of the

individual motifs is done automatically

Embroidering

 use template to place fabric in hoop (use center point and

marked center line as a guide)

 embroider motif, unhoop fabric and rehoop at next mark

TIP

Checking first stitch before completing

embroidery

Touch the Color Information bar in Embroidery

menu (Ready) to move the hoop to first stitch of

current thread color (a cursor symbol appears in

the Color Information bar).

TIP

Positioning motifs

Use BERNINA's software to print motif in original

size for use as a template. Use print to arrange and

place motif directly on fabric (mark center or start

point of design).

Alternatively, use a scrap of original fabric to

embroider motif. Use motif instead of print for

placements.

TIP

Embroidery Mega-Hoop (special accessory)

Use the embroidery Mega-Hoop for particularly

easy embroidering of borders: fabric need not be

hooped as often as when using normal hoops.
