I fixed it

Kudos to me:thumbsup..,as i've fixed the problem myself...
So learners make... sure the foot knob is turned down while doing free-hand embi(without any feet).That did the magic for me
:cheers

Hi,
Here I am with another query...
1.Do we have to stitch the outline of a design before filling the design or after it?
2.Outline also can be done free hand?

Hello dear ,
You will have the design of the oval petals in your fabric, first do arunning stich in the middle of the leaf design. then you do satin stich from the begining of the leaf design, please try to seethe numbers in the machie. Example; start from 0 to 0.5 -01 reduce as like 0.5 - 0 now you can get a oval shape leaf in satin stich.

Hi Bindhu, archu & viji,
howz your embroidery progressing? sorry I missed this thread. you will have to make outline for designs before you begin filling, & of course you have to do it by free hand only.
:cheers
