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).
