72 Pacesetter BES Lettering Instruction Manual Appliqué Style Text If you need to create large letters, Appliqué Style text is one way to reduce the number of stitches required. With Appliqué lettering, you use cut pieces of fabric in place of large fill stitch areas. There are three different embroidery segments for each letter in appliqué style text: • Positioning stitches. These sew onto the garment first, and serve as a guide for placing the appliqué fabric. • Tack-down stitches. Once you have place the appliqué fabric, the tack-down stitches hold it in place. • The Appliqué border. Border stitches run all the way around the outline of each letter to securely attach the Appliqué fabric to the garment. There are three different kinds of border stitches possible, Satin, Motif, and Blanket. For more information about the settings for each of these types, see the procedures for each type, below. In order to stop the machine so that you can place the fabric pieces to be sewn on to the garment, the Appliqué Style lettering segment inserts a color change between each positioning, tack-down, and border segment. Therefore, the lettering segment will show many colors when first generated. This ensures that the machine will stop between each segment.
