[Decorative sewig/Speciah:y techniques Appliqué designs Appliqués are easily created and produce a beautiful effect. By using a variety of materials and patterns you can obtain many different effects. You can make a perfect densely stitched seam with the applique foot (special accessories). The special cutout on the sole allows the extra thickness of a satin stitch zigzag to pass smoothly under the foot. Fusible webbing keeps the appliqué in place so you can easily stitch around the form. • Snap on the applique foot. • Transfer your pattern to the paper side of the fusible webbing - remember that any letters or numbers have to be drawn as a mirror image. • Iron the paper-backed webbing to the back side of the appliqué fabric. Cut the motif out and pull off the paper. • Place the appliqué pieces on base fabric and iron securely. Stitch around all appliqués with appliqué stitch (No. 28/2046, 15/2034) or with a narrow, satin-stitch zigzag, stitch width 2 - 4 mm, stitch length 0.2 to 0.6 mm. Make sure the stitch covers the outer edge of the appliqué so that no fraying occurs later. TIP: If a taper is required you can narrow the satin stitch zigzag in 0.5 mm increments with the -1÷ button A (see Tapering, page 88). 91
