Using a frame pattern to create appliqués (2) There is another way of sewing appliqués. With this method, there is no need to change the fabric in the embroidery frame. The appliqué can be created by sewing two frame patterns of the same size and shape-one sewn with straight stitches and the other sewn with satin stitches. Select a frame pattern sewn with straight a stitches to embroider onto the base fabric. Embroider over the appliqué fabric using c the same frame pattern. • Be sure to stop the machine before the cross at the center is sewn. Remove the embroidery frame from the d machine, and then cut off the excess appliqué fabric along the outside of the stitching. Note • Leave the fabric in the embroidery frame when cutting off the excess appliqué fabric. In addition, do not apply extreme pressure to the framed fabric, otherwise the fabric could become loose. Select the satin-stitched frame pattern with e the same shape. Place the appliqué fabric over the b embroidery sewn in step a. Make sure that the area surrounded by the stitching is not larger than the area of the appliqué fabric. 242 Note • If the size or sewing position of the straightstitched frame pattern is changed, be sure to change the size or sewing position of the satin-stitched frame pattern in the same way.
