Satin Stitch Applique - Singer CG-590 Workbook

Satin Stitch Appliqué
Satin Stitching is a series of closely spaced zig-zag stitches. Satin Stitching
can be used for monograms, embroidery and appliqué work to produce a
smooth satin-like appearance. Try a rayon thread for a smoother looking
finish.

Materials:
2" x 3" cotton fabric for appliqué
2" x 3" fusible stabilizer
6" x 6" cotton foundation fabric
6" x 6" tear-away stabilizer
Procedure:
Press the fusible stabilizer onto the appliqué.
Fuse the appliqué onto the cotton foundation fabric.
(Fusing the appliqué into place will keep the appliqué from shifting
while stitching.)
Place a tear-away stabilizer underneath the fabric. (This is used to
ensure quality stitching when using dense stitches.)
Place the applique under the foot, so that half of the stitch will form on the
applique and half on the base fabric.
Sew around the applique.
Widen the stitch width to 4 and change the stitch length to below 1.
