Singer Embroidery
How to do advanced embroidery on Singer 8280 zig-zag machine?
It is a basic machine with few zig-zag and scallop options. I want details on how to use the same to make embroidery.
Thanks
It sounds like you’re looking for “free motion embroidery”, which is what’s being demonstrated here, though on a slightly differently set up machine: http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/3833/video-manuels-free-motion-embroidery-technique
There are some good books to start with… two that come to mind are Robbie and Tony Fanning’s The Complete Book of Machine Embroidery and Mary Parker’s Sashiko. Both, I believe, are out of print.
There’s also the astounding book, Singer Instructions for Art Embroidery that’s been published in several editions — the samples are all done on a treadle straight stitcher — some real eye candy there.
You might also want to consider bobbin work with your machine — if it’s one with a removable bobbin case, consider getting a second bobbin case for bobbin work, but if it’s a drop in bobbin machine, you can usually just bypass the bobbin tension.
