With this you can obtain an effect similar to braiding. • Attach the cording foot. • Place the pearl thread in the foot so it leads through one of the grooves at the front and lies under the presser foot at the back. • Overstitch the pearl thread with a narrow satin stitch. This produces what is known as the purl seam. Tip: You can also obtain a remarkable effect by overstitching a medium pearl thread with a thread of a different color. Appliqué foot Appliqués are easily sewn and always produce a beautiful effect. By using different materials and patterns you can create countless new designs. You can make a perfect. densely stitched seam with the appliqué foot. which has a special cutout on its sole for the satinstitch seam. Attach the applique toot. Transfer your drafted pattern to the paper side of a fusible, paper-backed webbing. Remember that any letters or numbers have to be drawn as mirror images. Iron the fusible webbing onto the appliqué material. Cut out your motif and peel the paper from [he back of the appliqué. Position and press your appliqué pieces in place on your base fabric. Place a stabilizer under your work area. Sew over the edges of the appliqué material with a narrow satin stitch zigzag. Make sure that the stitch covers the outer edge so that no fraying occurs later. 56
