QuHt Apphques Appliques add a special touch to your quilt. There are many different ways to stitch appliques to a quilt. One way is to add the applique to the block before the quilt is put together. Set your performance 2054 for a satin stitch. Choose stitch 10, stitch length 0.4 - 0.5, stitch width 3 - 6, presser foot 2. Fuse the applique piece to the biock with invisible web. Place stabilizer under the block. Sew around the applique with the satin stitch. Make sure the stitch mostly on the applique - covering the raw edge of the applique. Another way to add an applique to a quilt is to finish the edge of the applique and sew it on with the hand applique stitch (44). First prepare the applique. Cut the applique shape 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 (1), stitch length 2.0, center needle position and sew the fabric and interfacing together around the outside edge with a ¾" seam. Trim around the applique leaving 1/8" seam allowance and clip into curves. Slash the interfacing and turn the applique right side out. Finger press the applique. Place the applique on the quilt. When you are satisfied with the position, iron it down. Select stitch 18, snap on applique foot and sew around the edge of the applique with the straight part of the hand applique stitch. Let the horizontal part of the stitch just catch into the applique. This is the part that will keep the applique in place. 78
