Free Motion Machine Embroidery
On our previous site, we have a lesson on free motion embroidery. You can use this pattern for free motion embroidery. That lesson will be moved to this site. In the meantime, find it here: Free Motion Machine Embroidery Tutorial
How To Use This Pattern
Use stabilizer and a regular sewing machine (with darning foot) to make amazing embroidery designs. Transfer this pattern to fabric; then use hand embroidery, free motion machine embroidery, or a combination of the two. Fabric paints would also add interesting detail.
To learn hand embroidery stitches, go to my free stitch glossary.
Stabilizer
If using this pattern for free motion machine embroidery you will need the following:
Machine Embroidery Stabilizer
This material provides a stabilizing backing for creating even stitches when performing free motion machine embroidery. Visit my Amazon store page to purchase stabilizer, fusible web, fusible fleece, insul-bright, heat resistant cloth, quilting pins, and other items I use in my projects.
Design Size
The pdf pattern prints to an 8.5” x 11” piece of paper. The overall design measures approximately 3.5" x 20". Adjust to meet your needs. You can change the size by enlarging or shrinking on your copy machine or with a graphics program.
