Decorative seing and embroidery techniques Decorative buttonhole This buttonhole is a beautiful alternative to the traditional buttonhole (see page 26-27). Since you determine the width of the buttonhole seam, the buttonhole can have a width of up to 10 mm. • Sew two buttonhole seams about 1 mm apart using a dense zigzag stitch E, stitch width 3-5 mm). The needle thread tension is set to "buttonhole". • Select the right needle position and sew over both ends of the buttonhole seam with a triangle. To do this, turn the stitch width dial (24) during sewing constantly from 0 to 5 and back to 0. The top of the triangle should meet the middle of both buttonhole seams. Appliqué Apppliqués are quickly made and always produce a beautiful fancy effect. By using different materials and patterns you can sew many different variations. You can make a perfect, densely stitched seam with the appliqué foot (special accessories). because it has a special cutout on the underside for the buttonhole seam. Use a fusible backing fabric 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. Remember that e.g. letters have to be drawn as a mirror image. • Now iron the backing fabric onto the appplqué material. Cut the motif out and pull the paper off. • Place and iron on the appliqué parts on the base material. 0 • Sew over a appliqué material edges with the dense zigzag, stitch E, stitch width 2-4 mm, stitch length S buttonhole". The needle thread tension is in the "buttonhole" area. Make sure S the needle stitches over the outer edge so that no fraying occurs later. S Tip: For appliqué pieces which are pointed at the ends, you can make the zigzag stitch narrower using the width dial (24) so that the ends are pointed. r 44
