Heirloom

Hemstitching (Daisy Stitch)

Use for sewing tablecloths, decorative hems, and decorative stitching on shirt fronts.

  • Use a light to medium weight homespun fabric with a little stiffness.
  1. Insert a type 130/705H, size 100/16 Wing needle.

    • This specialty sewing needle is not furnished with your machine. It must be purchased separately.
    CAUTION
    • A more attractive finish can be obtained if you use a “130/705H Wing” needle when sewing these stitch patterns. If using a wing needle and the stitch width has been set manually, check that the needle will not touch the presser foot by carefully rotating the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) before starting to sew.
    • When sewing with the wing needle, select a stitch width of 6.0 mm (approx. 15/64 inch) or less, otherwise the needle may bend or break.
  2. Select from the stitches below and attach monogramming foot “N”.

  3. Start sewing.

    Stiff, homespun fabric is recommended so that the wing needle can push the fibers apart to create heirloom effects.
