Reduce the upper thread tension (see Page 24) so that the lower
thread lays loosely on the back of the fabric and is looped by the upper
thread.
 Sew one or more rows of stitches. Do not cut the threads directly on
the edge of the fabric; rather, let the threads protrude around 10
centimetres at the ends.
 At the start of each row, knot the upper and lower thread.
 Hold onto the fabric on the side with the knot and, at the same time,
pull one or more lower threads taut on the other side. Now push
the fabric together on the lower thread. Once the fabric has been
gathered to the desired width, knot the upper and lower threads of
the second side.
 Make sure the gathering is even.
 Sew the gathers in place with one or more rows of straight stitches.

 Tack the appliqué to the fabric.
 Use a close zigzag stitch along the edge of the tacked motif. For fi ne
fabrics, we recommend using an embroidery frame.
 On corners and curves of the appliqué, only turn the fabric when the
needle is inserted in the outer side of the appliqué.
 Then remove the tacking stitches.
