Decorative sewing Quilt Appliqués Appliqués add that special touch for your quilt. There are many different ways of applying appliqués to a quilt. One way is to add the appliqué to the block before the quilt is put together. Set your Pfaff creative 2124 with stitch no. 3, stitch length 0.5, stitch width 4-6 mm, presser foot no. 2. Adhere the appliqué piece to the quilt block. Place stabilizer behind the block and appliqué. Sew around the appliqué with the satin stitch. Make sure the stitch is 80% on the appliqué - just covering up the appliqué's raw edge. Another way to add an appliqué to a quilt is to finish the edge of the appliqué and sew it on with stitch no. 19. This will give your quilt a hand stitcched look. First prepare the appliqué. Cut the appliqué form out of fabric and a piece of light weight iron on interfacing. Place the right side of the fabric and the rough (iron-on) side of the interfacing together. Use a straight stitch (no. 1), stitch length 2.0, center needle position and sew the fabric and interfacing together using a ¼" seam. Trim around the appliqué leaving 1/8" seam allowance and clip into curves. Slash the interfacing so that the appliqué can be turned right side out. Finger press the appliqué. Place the appliqué on the quilt. When you are satisfied with the position, iron it down. Follow around the edge of the appliqué with the straight part of stitch no. 19. Let the horizontal part of the stitch just catch into the appliqué. This is the part that will keep the appliqué in place. Tip: Press the needle down function to position the needle in the fabric when you stop sewing. This makes turning easy with your Pfaff creative 2124. 5:7

Quilt Appliqués
Appliqués add that special touch for your quilt.
There are many different ways of applying appliqués to a quilt.
One way is to add the appliqué to the block before the quilt is
put together.
Set your Pfaff creative 2124 with stitch no. 3, stitch length 0.5,
stitch width 4-6 mm, presser foot no. 2.
Adhere the appliqué piece to the quilt block. Place stabilizer
behind the block and appliqué. Sew around the appliqué with
the satin stitch. Make sure the stitch is 80% on the appliqué – just
covering up the appliqué’s raw edge.
Another way to add an appliqué to a quilt is to finish the edge of
the appliqué and sew it on with stitch no. 19. This will give your
quilt a hand stitcched look.
First prepare the appliqué. Cut the appliqué form out of fabric
and a piece of light weight iron on interfacing. Place the right
side of the fabric and the rough (iron-on) side of the interfacing
together. Use a straight stitch (no. 1), stitch length 2.0, center
needle position and sew the fabric and interfacing together
using a ¼" seam. Trim around the appliqué leaving 1/8" seam
allowance and clip into curves. Slash the interfacing so that the
appliqué can be turned right side out. Finger press the appliqué.
Place the appliqué on the quilt. When you are satisfied with the
position, iron it down.
Follow around the edge of the appliqué with the straight part of
stitch no. 19. Let the horizontal part of the stitch just catch into
the appliqué. This is the part that will keep the appliqué in place.
Tip
: Press the needle down function to position the needle in the
fabric when you stop sewing. This makes turning easy with your
Pfaff creative 2124.
