[Decorative sewig/Speciah:y 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. 28/2046, 15/2034) 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 -1÷ button A (see Tapering, page 88). 91

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

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.
28/2046,
15/2034)
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

zigzag
in
0.5
mm
increments
with
the
