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.
In order to stop the machine so that you can place the fabric
pieces to be sewn on to the garment, the Appliqué Style letter-
ing segment inserts a color change between each positioning,
tack-down, and border segment. Therefore, the lettering seg-
ment will show many colors when first generated. This ensures
that the machine will stop between each segment.
