This decorative stitch can be used to sew appliques. It will take some experimenting on scrap fabric to find the exact settings you want for your applique. Set the width at a medium setting to start, and adjust from there. Use an Open Toe Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) which can be helpful because it provides a clear view of the sewing area. The center of the stitch should hug the outside edge of the applique, the left side of the stitch sews on the applqiue, and the right side of the stitch sew onto the main fabric. This decorative stitch can be used to embellish a quilt binding. Allow the center of the stitch to sew in the "ditch" between the main quilt and the binding. The horizontal stitches will sew into the quilt binding on the right and into the main quilt on the left, adding a decorative touch. Use this stitch to embellish your sewing projects with a single row, multiple rows, or even in combination with other decorative stitches. Try various stitch length and/or width adjustments to change the look of the stitch as desired. It may be helpful to use a Satin Stitch Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) for denser stitch settings, as this foot has a groove on the underside to allow stitches to pass freely underneath. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, all-purpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Be sure to use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using, and stabilizer to help support the fabric and stitches. Learn more about needles and stabilizer on the SINGER website.
