7 Accessories 7-7 Appliqué foot Appliqués are easily sewn and always produce a beautiful effect. By using different materials and patterns you can create countless new designs. You can make a perfect, densely stitched seam with the appliqué foot, which has a special cutout on its sole for the satin-stitch seam. • Attach the appliqué foot. • Transfer your drafted pattern to the paper side of a fusible, paper-backed webbing (Vliesofix). Remember that any letters or numbers have to be drawn as mirror images. • Iron the fusible webbing onto the appliqué material. Cut out your motif and peel the paper from the back of the appliqué. • Position and press your appliqué pieces in place on your base fabric. Place a stabilizer under your work area. • Overstitch all contours with a narrow satin stitch zigzag. Make sure that the needle oversews the outer edge so that no fraying occurs later. Stitch No: 3 or 10 Stitch length: 0.3 mm Stitch width: 1.5 -2 mm Open toe appliqué foot Appliqués are easily sewn and always produce a beautiful effect. If you use the open toe appliqué foot with program 18 you obtain an additional effect: your appliqué will look as if stitched by hand. • Cut out your appliqué pieces without any seam allowance. • Iron a fusible, paper-backed webbing (Vliesofix) onto the back of your base fabric. Now peel the paper from the back of the appliqué pieces. Position and press the appliqué pieces on the fabric. • Attach the open toe appliqué foot. • Select program 18 and guide the edge of the appliqué pattern along the right-hand inner edge of the foot. This will produce a uniform seam along the edge of the pattern. The straight stitch will be almost entirely sinkstitched, which creates the hand-made effect. Stitch: 18 Stitch length: 25 mm Stitch width: 1.5 mm
