APPLIQUE
Applique adds beauty and interest to wearing
apparel, linens and fabric furnishings.
Either contrasting or self fabric may be used
effectively. The most versatile stitch in applique-
ing is a closely set zigzag stitch (Primary Pattern
BL). The width of this stitch may be varied to
accommodate weaves and textures of fabrics.
Combination Patterns and Variations present
many interesting ways to applique with deco
rative stitching.
Preparatibn*
There are two methods by which
applique work may be done. The appropriate
method is determined by the fabric being used,
and a test sample is advisable.
Position the design properly and baste it to
the fabric. Attach the Special Purpose Foot to
the presser bar.
Method #1.
Set Selector and Red Lever for the
desired stitch pattern. Following the shape of the
design, outline it entirely with applique stitch
ing. Any excess fabric on the outer edges is
trimmed away after the stitching has been com
pleted.
