APPLIQUE
Applique adds beauty and interest to clothing and
household linens. You can create your own design,
trace a simple outline from a coloring book, or use
a motif cut from a printed fabric. Fabrics of like or
different textures combine equally well.
A closely spaced plain zig-zag stitch is used for
applique work. Although you may vary stitch width
to
accommodate
fabric
weave
and
texture,
never
allow the stitch to be too wide. Make a test sample
to help you decide which of the following methods
is best for your fabric and design.
Preparation
• Baste applique design to fabric: outline design
with a short, straight stitch.
• Remove basting and press.
• Attach the special purpose foot.
