Fusible webbing keeps the appliqué in place so you can easily stitch around the form. • Snap on the applique foot. • Transfer your pattern to the paper side of the fusible webbing - remember that any letters or numbers have to be drawn as a mirror image. • Iron the paper-backed webbing to the back side of the appliqué fabric. Cut the motif out and pull off the paper. • Place the appliqué pieces on base fabric and iron securely. • Stitch around all appliqués with appliqué stitch (No. 19) or with a narrow, satin-stitch zigzag, stitch width 2 - 4 mm, stitch length 0.2 to 0.6 mm. Make sure the stitch covers the outer edge of the appliqué so that no fraying occurs later.

Decorative sewing/Specialty techniques
Appliqué designs
Appliqués are easily created and produce a beautiful effect.
By using a variety of materials and patterns you can obtain
many different effects. You can make a perfect densely
stitched seam with the applique foot (special accessories).
The special cutout on the sole allows the extra thickness of a
satin stitch zigzag to pass smoothly under the foot. Fusible
webbing keeps the appliqué in place so you can easily stitch
around the form.
Snap on the applique foot.
Transfer your pattern to the paper side of the fusible
webbing – remember that any letters or numbers have to
be drawn as a mirror image.
Iron the paper-backed webbing to the back side of the
appliqué fabric. Cut the motif out and pull off the paper.
Place the appliqué pieces on base fabric and iron
securely.
Stitch around all appliqués with appliqué stitch (No.
19) or with a narrow, satin-stitch zigzag, stitch width 2
- 4 mm, stitch length 0.2 to 0.6 mm. Make sure the stitch
covers the outer edge of the appliqué so that no fraying
occurs later.
Tip:
If a taper is required you can narrow the satin stitch zigzag
in 0.5 mm increments with the -/+ button A (see Tapering, page
6:6-6:7).
