Appliqués

are

quickly

made

and

always

pro

duce

a

beautiful

fancy

effect.

By

using

diffe

rent

materials

and

patterns

you

can

sew

many

different variations.

You

can

make

a

perfect,

densely

stitched

seam

with

the

appliqué

foot

(special

accesories),

because

it

has

a

special

cutout

on

the

underside

for

the

buttonhole

seam.

The

fusible backing

fabric

“Vliesof

ix”

can

be

used

to

iron

the

appliqué

onto

the

material,

making

it

easier

for

you

to

appliqué.

-.

Insert

the

appliqué

foot

in

the

sewing

machine.

Transfer

your

drafted

pattern

to

the

face

side,

smooth

side,

of

the

fusible

backing

fabric.

that

e.g.

letters

have

to

be

drawn

as

a

mirror image.

—

Now

the

backing

fabric

Onto

the

motif

out

and

“buttonhole”.

The

needle

thread

tension

is

in

the

buttonhole”

area.

Make

sure

the

needle

stitches

over

the

outer

edge

so

that

no

fraying

occurs

later.

Tip:

For

appliqué

pieces

which

are

pointed

at

the

ends,

you

can make

the

dense

zigzag

stitch

narrower

using

the

width

knob

(34)

so

that

the

ends

are

pointed.

This

especially

artistic

form

of

eyelet

and

insert

embroidery

is

easy

to

sew

with

your

sewing

machine.

—

Using

a

magic

marker,

draw

your

motif

onto

the

face side

of

the

fabric.

—

Then

place

two

layers

of

Avalon

fleece

underneath

the

parts

to

be

embroidered

and

clamp

both

the

fabric

and

the

fleece

into

an

embroidery

frame.

embroidery

foot

—

To

lend

more durability

to

the

embroidery,

sew

all

of

the contours

twice

using

the

straight

stitch

(stitch

length

approx.

1

mm).

—

Then

carefully

cut

out

the

fabric

2

mm

next

to

the

contour

from

the

areas

which

are

to

be

hollow.

The

fleece

must

not

move.

—

Embroider

the

contours

with

a

dense

zigzag

stitch.

—

Due

to

the

fleece,

this

part

of

the

work

is

much

more

stable

and

strong.

-.

Finally,

simply

dissolve

the

embroidery

fleece

in

cold

water

and

your

one-of-a-kind

design

is

finished.
