Appliqué
designs
Appliqués
are easily created and
produce
a
beautiful effect.
By using a
variety of materials and
patterns
you
can obtain
many different
effects. You can make a
perfect densely
stitched seam
with the applique
foot (special accessories).
The special cutout
on the sole
allows
the
extra thickness of
a
satin stitch zigzag
to
pass
smoothly
under
the
foot. Fusible
webbing keeps
the appliqué in place so you can
easily stitch
around the form.
• Snap on the
applique foot.
• Transfer your pattern to the
paper side of the fusible
webbing - remember that any
letters or numbers have to
be
drawn
as
a mirror
image.
• Iron the
paper-backed webbing to the
back side
of
the
appliqué
fabric. Cut the motif out and pull off the
paper.
• Place the appliqué pieces on base
fabric
and
iron
securely.
Stitch around all
appliqués with appliqué stitch (No.
28/2046, 15/2034) or
with
a
narrow, satin-stitch zigzag,
stitch width 2 - 4 mm,
stitch length
0.2 to 0.6
mm. Make
sure the stitch
covers the outer
edge
of the appliqué
so
that no
fraying occurs later.
TIP:
If
a taper
is required you can narrow the satin stitch
zigzag in 0.5 mm increments with the -1÷ button A (see
Tapering,
page 88).
