Free motion technique #1
• Draw your design onto the pocket using
a fabric marking tool.
• Set up your machine to free motion:
Place the spring action quilting foot on,
and drop the feed dogs. Use the default
straight stitch length. Use embroidery
thread to enhance the design.
• Like anything, it’s a good idea to practice
with similar material prior to the final
project. Find a point to start and begin
tracing the outline with the needle.
Tip: Once you’ve gone over the sketch you
can retrace again.
Tip: Use the N foot and satin stitch to
create bolder edges (like I did on the
stems). To fill in parts of the design, use
back-and-forth motions.
• Pin the pocket back into place. Use
similar thread and stitch length to follow
the previous stitch marks.
