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.
Appliqué Preparation
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 4.)
