APPLIQUE Appliqué adds beauty and interest to clothing and household linens. You can create your own design, trace a simple outline from a coloring book, or use a motif cut from a printed fabric. Fabrics of like or different texture combine equally well. A closely spaced zig-zag stitch is most commonly used in appliqué work, but decorative stitch patterns may also be used effectively. Although you may vary stitch width to accommodate fabric weave or texture, never allow the stitch to be too wide. When appliquéing, make a test sample to help you decide which of the following two methods is more appropriate for your fabric and design. Preparation • Baste appliqué to fabric. • Outline appliqué with straight stitching (use a short stitch). • Remove basting and press. • Attach special-purpose foot (and zig-zag plate). Method #1 - Trimming after Stitching 1. Set pattern selector and stitch-width dial for desired appliqué stitch. Adjust stitch length in the FINE area. 2. Outline the entire design with appliqué stitching. 3. Cut away the fabric on the outer edges of the stitching with embroidery scissors. Method #2 - Stitching after Trimming 1. Trim outside fabric edges close to straightstitch outline of design. 2. Set pattern selector and stitch-width dial for desired appliqué stitch. Adjust stitch length in the FINE area. 3. Overedge the design with appliqué stitching. This step will produce a smooth, lustrous finish. Method #1 - Trimming after Stitching Method #2 - Stitching after Trimming 55
