Free Motion Monogram:

For free motion monogramming you will need to lower or cover the feed dogs and you will require a darning and embroidery foot.
1. Draw an upper case “S” about 2” high on fabric that has been stabilized; draw horizon line under the letter. Place fabric in embroidery hoop. Set stitch width to 0. Draw up bobbin thread at top of “S”; stitch in place a few times to secure stitches. Set stitch width to widest setting.
2. Satin stitch across top of the letter, using dense zigzag stitches; keep horizon line horizontal as you sew.
3. Continue satin stitching around remainder of letter. Set stitch width to 0 and secure stitches.
