Applique; Richelieu - Pfaff tiptronic 6232 Instruction Manual

Appliqués are quickly made and always pro
duce a beautiful fancy effect. By using diffe
rent materials and patterns you can sew many
different variations. You can make a perfect,
densely stitched seam with the appliqué foot
(special accesories), because it has a special
cutout on the underside for the buttonhole
seam. The fusible backing fabric "Vliesof ix"
can be used to iron the appliqué onto the
material, making it easier for you to appliqué.
-.
Insert the appliqué foot in the sewing
machine.
—
Transfer your drafted pattern to the face
side, smooth side, of the fusible backing
fabric. Remember that e.g. letters have to
be drawn as a mirror image.
—
Now iron the backing fabric Onto the appli
qué material. Cut the motif out and pull the
paper
off.
—
Place and iron on the applique parts on the
base material.
—
Afterwards over-stitch all contours with
dense zigzag stitch G, stitch width 2
—
4
mm, stitch length "buttonhole". The needle
thread tension is in the buttonhole" area.
Make sure the needle stitches over the
outer edge so that no fraying occurs later.
Tip: For appliqué pieces which are pointed at
the ends, you can make the dense zigzag
stitch narrower using the width knob (34) so
that the ends are pointed.
This especially artistic form of eyelet and
insert embroidery is easy to sew with your
sewing machine.
—
Using a magic marker, draw your motif onto
the face side of the fabric.
—
Then place
two
layers of Avalon fleece
underneath the parts to be embroidered
and clamp both the fabric and the fleece
into an embroidery frame.
—
Insert decorative embroidery foot number 1.
—
To lend more durability to the embroidery,
sew
all of the contours twice using the
straight stitch (stitch length approx. 1 mm).
—
Then carefully cut out the fabric 2 mm next
to the contour from the areas which are to
be hollow. The fleece must not move.
—
Embroider the contours with a dense zigzag
stitch.
—
Due to the fleece, this part of the work is
much more stable and strong.
-.
Finally, simply dissolve the embroidery
fleece in cold water and your one-of-a-kind
design is finished.
