APPLIQUE

Appliqué adds beauty and interest to clothing

and household linens. You can create your

own design, trace a simple outline from a

coloring book, or use a motif cut from a printed

fabric. Fabrics of like or different texture com

bine equally well.

A closely spaced zig-zag stitch is most com

monly used in appliqué work, but decorative

stitch patterns may also be used effectively.

Although you may vary stitch width to accom

modate fabric weave or texture, never allow

the stitch to be too wide.

When appliquéing, make a test sample to help

you decide which of the following two methods

is more appropriate for your fabric and de

sign.

Preparation

• Baste appliqué to fabric.

• Outline appliqué with straight stitching (use

a short stitch).

• Remove basting and press.

• Attach special-purpose foot (and zig-zag

plate).

Method #1 — Trimming after Stitching

1. Set pattern selector and stitch-width dial

for desired appliqué stitch. Adjust stitch

length in the FINE area.

2. Outline the entire design with appliqué

stitching.

3. Cut away the fabric on the outer edges of

the stitching with embroidery scissors.

Method #2 — Stitching after Trimming

1. Trim outside fabric edges close to straight-

stitch outline of design.

2. Set pattern selector and stitch-width dial

for desired appliqué stitch. Adjust stitch

length in the FINE area.

3. Overedge the design with appliqué stitch

ing. This step will produce a smooth, lus-

trousfinish.
