For machines with adjustable stitch length and stitch width, set the stitch width to about 1.0 1.5mm, and the stitch length to a medium setting. Sew around the applique so the "straight" part of the stitch falls just outside the applique edge, and the longer part of the stitch sews just over the fabric fold.
