Satin Stitch Appliqué
The zigzag stitch is commonly used for appliqué,
monogramming, stems of flowers and petals. (A short
zigzag stitch length creates the satin stitch.) Threads of
100% cotton, rayon or silk provide the best results.
• Apply stabilizer to the fabric for the stitch to form
correctly.
Decrease stitch width to 3.5 and stitch length to 0.4.
1. Press fusible webbing to the wrong side of a
lightweight fabric.
2. Cut out design shape. Fuse design to main fabric.
3. Sew design to fabric with the needle swinging off
the appliqué.
4. When you reach a place where you need to turn,
lower the needle into the fabric at the outer edge of
the turn. Raise the presser foot, turn fabric, lower
the presser foot and continue sewing. You may
need to set the foot pressure dial to 2.

Scallop Edges

Attractively finish edges of collars, pockets and
placemats.
Select either 31 or 32.
To edge a collar, place interfacing/stabilizer between
upper and under collar and sew scallop on seam line.
After sewing, trim fabric close to stitching taking care
not to cut scallops.

Circle Sewing

The circular sewing pivot pin is inserted into free arm and
provides a pivot point to sew perfect curves or circles for
doilies or large scallops. Use either utility or decorative
stitches.
Select a decorative stitch.
Fold fabric into quarters to determine center. Pierce
center of fabric with pivot pin. Insert pivot pin into hole on
the extension table. Lower presser foot and sew. Smooth
the fabric out evenly from the center to the front of the
foot by hand.
NOTE: Light to medium weight fabrics will need a
stabilizer to sew the circle/curve correctly.
