Whip and Roll Hem

(Model 220 – optional foot)
This technique makes a beautiful edge on ruffles and
hems. It should only be used for lightweight fabrics.
1. The fabric edge must be clean cut with no unrav-
eling threads.
2. Lay the fabric edge in the middle of the foot. Be-
gin sewing slowly with the zigzag catching the
fabric edge on the left and going off the raw
edge on the right. The fabric will automatically
roll itself under the stitch.

Satin Stitch Applique

(Model 220 – optional foot)
The zigzag stitch is commonly used for applique,
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.
• Applique Preparation
1. Press fusible webbing to the wrong side of a
lightweight fabric.
2. Cut out design shape. Fuse design to main fab-
ric.
3. Sew design to fabric with the needle swinging off
the applique.
4. When you reach a place where you need to turn,
bring the needle into the fabric, raise the presser
foot, turn fabric, lower the presser foot and con-
tinue sewing.
