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 satin-stitch seam. • Attach the appliqué foot. • 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 the 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. 62
