Hello lovely people.
This isn't the toy I was waiting for. That's a button hole attachment.
This is a device I've had forever but I JUST NOW started to give it a try.
When I acquired this, I didn't think I had the right adaptors to use it. That and I was intimidated. I get that way when it comes to these big devices.
The Deluxe Monogrammer makes letters 1 1/2" tall. The letters are on individual cams, and the monogrammers don't provide all the cams with the device. I've looked online and have found some the ones I don't have (I need about 10 to complete the alphabet), but I have my initials already, SMJ, and a flower detail so that's good to start.
The first step is to make the positing with the template.
Then you sandwich the fabric between a paper stabilizer (what they recommend) and the foot of the device.
I found the more I practiced that if I delicately held down the fabric, I wouldn't get much shift.
Then you just peel off the paper.
Yay!!!
Playing around I think that using the mid range widths and stitch lengths of my machine is the best for this size monogram. Now that I know that, I can't wait to put letters on EVERYTHING!!
Oh, gadgets!
And Vintageville is on it's way. I'm mid episode so rest assured.
Thanks and have a great day!!
That is SO COOL! Is it a new attachment that can still be bought or a vintage find?
ReplyDeleteIts a gadget that dates from 1969. It only works on slant shank Singer machines. They are all over ebay at varying prices.
ReplyDeleteAlso note that if you have a mid century Kenmore, there are many large monogrammers available, even more than Singers, since they were included in the machine purchase. The two are not interchangeable, not even the plastic templates. Singer also has a smaller size monogrammer.
