Draw the lettering (for monogramming) or 
design (for embroidering) on the surface of 
the fabric.
d
Put the fabric in the embroidery hoop with 
the surface of the fabric facing up inside the 
well.
e
Place the project under the needle and lower 
the presser bar.
f
Draw up the lower thread through the project 
at the starting position by turning the 
handwheel toward you (counterclockwise), 
and then sew a few stitches to reinforce the 
stitching.
g
Grip the hoop with the thumbs and 
forefingers of both hands while pressing the 
fabric with the middle and third fingers, and 
support the outside of the hoop with your 
little fingers.
h
Start sewing.
■ Monogramming
Sew the lettering at a constant speed by 
moving the hoop slowly.
■ Embroidering
Sew along the outline of the design by 
moving the hoop slowly.
Then, sew to completely fill in the design 
with stitches by alternately sewing from the 
outline of the design to the inside and from 
the inside to the outline.
Memo
● Be sure to keep the stitches close together.
i
Select the desired length for straight stitch (6) 
and sew a few stitches for reinforcing.
Memo
● When the hoop is moved quickly, the 
stitches are longer. When the hoop is 
moved slowly, the stitches are shorter.
● Be sure to keep your fingers away from 
moving parts, especially needles.
