Bobbin Work Free-Motion Sewing
If so desired, use a template or draw your design on the
stabilizer to allow for ease of stitching. Remember, your
stitches with your decorative thread will be on the
underneath side of your fabric and the stabilizer will be
on the top of the wrong side of your fabric.
The CD-ROM included with this kit contains template
data for free-motion sewing. For a list of the template
designs, refer to “Templates for Free-Motion Sewing”
on page 12.
