* Use a light weight fabric such as tricot.
Fold and stitch on the bias. When the needle swings
to the right, allow the needle to just clear the folded
edge of the fabric.
Open the fabric and iron on one side of the fabric.
* For the shell stitch, be aware that thread tension may
have to be adjusted depending on the fabric for the
best sewing results.

* Stitch patterns, (27, 28) can also be used.
Applique, a technique for stitching fabric shapes onto
another fabric, opens limitless design possibilities.
Dimension and texture can be added by lightly stuffing
all or part of a design. This machine has several differ-
ent patterns that can be used to enhance your applique.
In this type of applique raw edges are folded under.
To finish the raw edge, cut the applique design out of
cardboard. Fuse a lightweight interfacing to the wrong
side of the fabric then cut the fabric slightly larger than
the cardboard.
Fold the fabric around the cardboard and press to form a
perfectly shaped design.
Tape the applique in place and sew, guiding the slit on
foot F next to the finished edge of the applique.
