For such kind of work use preferably the buttonhole presser foot, marked with 3 black stripes. First apply the design on the wrong side of the cloth. Cut out the scrap a little larger than the design, put it on the right side of the cloth and fix it with provisional stitches. Then, on the wrong side of the cloth sew along the contours of the design with a narrow (width 1 or 11/2), not too short zigzag stitch. Use a thread of the same colour as that of the scrap to be sewn on. Then, remove the provisional stitches and cut the superfluous part of the scrap along the zigzag seam. To finish the applique works, sew another zigzag seam over the first one, a little wider (width 2112) and shorter, but this time on the right side of the cloth. 47

Applique
Works
(Use
left
position
of
needle)
By
sewing
on
scraps
of
cloth
or
tulle
of
different
colour,
a
very
nice
decorative
effect
will
be
obtained.
For
such
kind
of
work
use
preferably
the
buttonhole
presser
foot,
marked
with
3
black
stripes.
First
apply
the
design
on
the
wrong
side
of
the
cloth.
Cut
out
the
scrap
a
little
larger
than
the
design,
put
it
on
the
right
side
of
the
cloth
and
fix
it
with
provisional
stitches.
Then,
on
the
wrong
side
of
the
cloth
sew
along
the
contours
of
the
design
with
a
narrow
(width
1
or
1
1
/
2
),
not
too
short
zigzag
stitch.
Use
a
thread
of
the
same
colour
as
that
of
the
scrap
to
be
sewn
on.
Then,
remove
the
provisional
stitches
and
cut
the
superfluous
part
of
the
scrap
along
the
zigzag
seam.
To
finish
the
applique
works,
sew
another
zigzag
seam
over
the
first
one,
a
little
wider
(width
2
1
12)
and
shorter,
but
this
time
on
the
right
side
of
the
cloth.
