Appliqué Style Text
If you need to create large letters, Appliqué Style text is one
way to reduce the number of stitches required. With Appliqué
lettering, you use cut pieces of fabric in place of large fill stitch
areas.
There are three different embroidery segments for each letter in
appliqué style text:
• Positioning stitches. These sew onto the garment first, and
serve as a guide for placing the appliqué fabric.
• Tack-down stitches. Once you have place the appliqué
fabric, the tack-down stitches hold it in place.
• The Appliqué border. Border stitches run all the way around
the outline of each letter to securely attach the Appliqué
fabric to the garment.
There are three different kinds of border stitches possible,
Satin, Motif, and Blanket. For more information about the
settings for each of these types, see the procedures for each
type, below.
Changing colors in Appliqué Text
In order to stop the machine so that you can place the fabric
pieces to be sewn on to the garment, the Appliqué Style
lettering segment inserts a color change between each
positioning, tack-down, and border segment. This means that,
when first generated, the lettering segment will display many
colors.
You can change the colors of lettering in a Appliqué segment by
selecting a color from the list on the Color Palette.
