Applique Work (Needle stitch to the left) An attractive decorative effect is obtained by sewing cut-outs of materials of different colours or tulle to the cloth. Application work is mainly employed on collars, ladies' and children's dresses, linen, and the like. The buttonhole presser foot is advantageously used for this type of sewing work. First draw the shapes to the underside of the cloth. The fabric from which the designs are cut should be of a pleasant contrasting colour. Cut piece slightly larger than required and baste same on the right side of the material, thus not on the side of the design. Then sew a narrow zigzag stitch row with no. l/ to 1 - not too short - along the lines of the design. The sewing thread should be of the same colour as the fabric applied. Then remove basting and trim cautiously along the sewing line on right side. Now finish the application work by sewing a wider (2th), short zigzag line over the edges of the cut-out on right side of material. 50
