A simple-shaped appliqué fused onto a cotton-type
fabric (base fabric), with a medium weight
tear-away stabilizer underneath. Fusing the
appliqué into place will prevent the appliqué from shifting while stitching. The
stabilizer underneath the fabric is used to support the fabric when using wide
dense stitches.
Procedure: Procedure: Procedure: Procedure:
Place the applique under the transparent foot, so that the left swing of the
needle falls on the applique and the right swing of the needle falls on the
base fabric.
Stitch around the applique.
Widen the stitch width to 4 and change the stitch length to below 1.
Stitch around the applique again, covering the previously sewn stitching.
Sewing over an applique twice is not always necessary, however, it does
give a beautiful full-covered or raised effect.
A close zigzag is called a Satin Stitch.
