Decorative Stitching

Clear Embroidery Foot #39

Reverse Pattern Foot #1

Welcome to the second workbook in the My BERNINA series. The

information and stitching exercises in this book explore the use of

decorative stitches and embellishment techniques using BERNINA

sewing machines.

Every sewing machine begins with the straight stitch and continues with

practical and decorative stitches, the specific stitch package depending on

the model. Some models have hundreds and even thousands of stitches

that can be used to embellish almost any type of project—garments, pillows,

quilts, purses, baby clothes, and more. To get the best results when sewing

decorative stitches, there are several items that you need to address: the

type of thread you use, the presser foot you select, and how you prepare

your fabric for stitching.

The type of thread you use plays an important part in the look of your final

stitching. Workbook 1 (Basic Operation) offers information

on the fiber

content and properties of threads that are on the market today. There are

many from which to choose and if you try them all you’ll find a few favorites. Cotton embroidery thread,

especially in a heavier weight such as 30, gives a beautiful look to the stitches and has a nice luster to it.

If you want a high sheen, rayon or polyester embroidery thread are good choices. It often comes down to

a personal preference and what looks best on your project.

The presser foot you select is critical for good results because it can affect they way the fabric feeds under

the needle, influencing the stitch formation. Usually the key to selecting the correct presser foot is the sole.

If you are creating heavy, satin stitched patterns, you will need a foot that is not flat on the bottom. It should

have some type of indentation that allows the foot to ride over the completed stitch without dragging or

inhibiting the feed of the fabric. Stitches that are more open and have less thread will stitch well with an

all-purpose or zigzag presser foot. Reverse Pattern Foot #1/1C/1D has small indentations in front of and

behind the needle that allow the fabric

to move in a “back and forth” manner

when forming the stitches. Embroidery

Foot #6 has a wedge-shaped indentation

behind the needle, perfect for allowing

heavy compact stitches to flow freely

from under the back of the presser foot.

Open Embroidery Foot #20/20C/20D and

Clear Embroidery Foot #39/39C/39D both

have the same shape but offer more

visibility of the stitching area.

Preparing your fabric correctly can take the frustration out of your stitching, giving you a positive experience

with beautiful results. The fabric needs to be stable enough to support the stitching without tunneling or

puckering. This can be accomplished in several ways, sometimes with a combination of techniques.

The fabric itself might be heavy enough to support the stitching but in many cases extra stabilization will

be needed. Interfacing (fusible or sew-in) is applied to the wrong side of the fabric and left in the project.

Stabilizers are used as a temporary form of support. For the exercises in this class we will be using light-

weight tear away stabilizer that can be removed after stitching if desired.
