Confetti Placemats
General Sewing
Make durable confetti placemats for Halloween from two
layers of clear vinyl, a layer of colored nylon net, and
decorative holiday confetti. Small, flat Halloween
decorations, like the jack o' lanterns, ghosts, and bats
shown here, can be mixed with the confetti. Random rows
of machine stitching divide the placemat into
compartments. For ease in stitching on vinyl, use a size
90/14 needle and a long stitch length. Loosen the needle
thread tension, and stitch at a slow speed with a sheet
of tissue paper under the placemat. Look for seasonal
plastic or metallic confetti in many shapes at craft and
fabric stores as well as card and gift shops. The
instructions that follow are for finished placemats that
measure approximately 12" x 18" (30.5 x 46 cm).

Monograms
General Sewing
Although the automatic monogram stitch patterns on computerized
sewing machines are convenient and easy to stitch, you may want
to create different sizes or styles of monograms, using
free-motion machine embroidery.
Materials needed:
Monograms can either be drawn directly onto the fabric or onto a
piece of water-soluble stabilizer. If you are monogramming a
bath towel or sweater, it is easier to draw the monogram on
water-soluble stabilizer than it is to draw it on the textured
fabric; the stabilizer is then placed over the fabric to use as
a guide for stitching. Draw a horizon line under each letter and
keep it horizontal as you stitch so the stitching will
automatically taper in the right places.
Use a narrow, wooden hoop or a spring hoop for monogramming.
Wooden hoops with fixing screws hold the fabric more tightly,
but spring hoops are available in the small sizes needed for
areas such as pockets, cuffs, and collars. It is helpful to
place tear-away stabilizer under the hoop to prevent the fabric
from puckering.
You can use either 30-weight or 40-weight machine embroidery
thread for monogramming; the 30-weight thread is a little
heavier and fills in faster than 40-weight thread.
Practice stitching the upper case 'M" and lower case "e",
because these two letters include all the techniques required
for the other letters in the alphabet. When you monogram, think
of the sewing machine needle as a pencil. Start to stitch each
letter at the same place you would start writing it with a
pencil.
The size of the letter determines the stitch width; the
larger the letter, the wider the stitch width. The widest stitch
width setting on the sewing machine works well for 2" (5 cm)
letters, but a medium stitch width should be used for smaller
letters.

How to Stitch an Upper Case "M" Monogram
1) Draw an upper case "M" about 2" (5 cm) high on fabric;
draw horizon line under letter. Place fabric in embroidery hoop.
Set stitch width to 0. Draw up bobbin thread at top of "M";
stitch in place a few times to secure stitches. Set stitch width
to the widest setting.
|
 |
|
2) Satin stitch up to the first stem of the
letter, using short zigzag stitches; keep horizon line
horizontal as you sew. |
 |
|
3) Stitch down the first stem of the letter,
using longer zigzag stitches, to prevent a buildup of stitches
on the stem. Satin stitch back over the stem, using short,
closely spaced zigzag stitches. (Darning foot was removed to
show detail.) |
 |
|
4) Continue satin stitching to second stem of
letter; repeat step 3 for second stem. Satin stitch remainder of
letter. Set stitch width to 0 and secure stitches.
|
 |
|
How to Stitch a Lower Case "e" Monogram
1) Draw lower case "e" about 1" (2.5 cm) high on fabric; draw
horizon line under letter. Place fabric in embroidery hoop. Set
stitch width to 0. Draw up bobbin thread at left side of "e";
secure stitches. Set stitch width to a medium setting.
|
 |
|
2) Satin stitch, using short, closely spaced
zigzag stitches; stitch on the outside of loop so center of loop
does not become too small. Keep the horizon line horizontal as
you sew. Set the stitch width to 0 and secure stitches.
|
 |
|
Tips for Monogramming
Trace letters on water-soluble stabilizer. Place the
stabilizer on right side of fabric; position in hoop. Place
tear-away stabilizer under hoop during stitching. Remove both
stabilizers after stitching.
|
 |
|
Change direction of the horizon line, such as
placing it on the diagonal, so tapering of letter changes
position for a different look.
|
 |
|
Change direction of the horizon line within a
letter for added emphasis. |
 |
|
Change stitch width as you stitch the letters
for an interesting effect. Change the width when sewing side
stitch or at top of letter so width change is less noticeable
and flows with the letter.
|
 |
|
Stitch larger letters first with narrower
stitches; then repeat stitching with wider stitches if raised or
padded effect is desired.
|
 |
|
Use wide stitch width for large letters and a
narrower stitch width for small letters. |

Face Patch
Pockets
General Sewing
Sew quick and easy faced patch pockets in almost any shape you
can imagine; sew animal faces, geometric shapes, flowers, or
enlarged motifs from the garment fabric itself. Two tightly
spaced rows of stitching make it possible to trim seam
allowances close, leaving crisp, smooth edges, even on curves,
inner corners, and points.
Materials needed:
Use stable woven fabrics for best results. Back lightweight
knits with fusible interfacing, and face them with a woven
fabric. Plan the pocket design diameter to be at least 4" (10
cm), and determine the location of the pocket opening. For added
interest, place the pocket at an angle or embellish it with
stitching lines, embroidery, appliqués, or buttons.

How to Make a Faced Patch Pocket
1) Draw pocket design on paper; cut out. Check size and
placement on garment. Trace pocket shape on wrong side of pocket
fabric; trace mirror image, if pocket is asymmetrical. Draw
short perpendicular line at each inner and outer corner. Layer
design on lining fabric, right sides together; pin.
|
|
 |
2) Stitch on marked line around entire design,
using short straight stitches. Stitch second row of stitches
just outside first row; at corners, taper stitches into first
stitching line. Clip to stitching line at corners; trim fabric
away to within 1/8" (3 mm) of stitches. |
|
 |
3) Cut small slash in lining, near lower edge.
Turn pocket right side out through slash. Use point turner as
necessary to smooth outer edges; press. |
|
 |
4) Fuse slash closed, using small strip of
fusible interfacing. Embellish pocket as desired. Pin to
garment; edgestitch, reinforcing stitches at opening
|
|
 |
Embellishment Techniques
Appliqués. Apply appliqués, or use raw-edge method.
|
|
 |
Design lines. Draw design lines on
water-soluble stabilizer; pin to pocket front. Stitch over
design lines, using short straight stitches or short narrow
satin stitches. |
