Ruby2shoes (I think) pointed out a pdf to me last year from Singer, over 100 years old, on embroidering on a VS, IF or 27. Can't find it ATM but it blew me away, and if I could find it, it might be another on the reading list for this Summer holidays.
Here's one I did for an actual garment, on my 320K2 last November:

Cute ain't it? It was necessitated by the pattern (1950s, Simplicity) missing its insert (which looked almost exactly like this). I can claim this one as mine - no cats were used in excusing poor work this time
Also wrote my daughter's name on her PJs but that one wasn't so good: From that I learned to write it in pencil first, but yes free motion embroidery is like narrow hemming: Don't do it without preparation and practice or you'll spend hours unpicking!

What, mine? I thought even then it was garbage but it was just to advertise that "this is what a clueless man can do. Imagine what *you* could do!"

Google this name for the embroidery book: singerinstructio00sing.pdf
I love the little trains!
I chalk a ton of stuff when I quilt. The other thing I find it helps a lot it that I kind of get in the zone, then I step over the line to "zoned out" and forget what I was doing. (I'm not proud of it. LOL!) Getting back on track is a lot easier with the chalk hints.

I need a train far far bigger than that one to haul me back on track some days!
