APPLIQUÉ
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 texture
combine equally well.
A closely spaced zig-zag stitch is most commonly used in appliqué work.
Athough you may vary stitch width to accomodate fabric weave or tex
ture, never allow the stitch to be too wide.
Preparation
• Baste appliqué design to fabric.

(use a short stitch).

Attaching Elastic with
Plain Zig-Zag
ATTACHING ELASTIC
Elastic will remain stretchable when it is
attached with the plain zig-zag stitch.
The flexible joining produced by this
stitch allows elastic banding to be
stitched under, over, or between fabric
layers, making it particularly useful in the
construction of lingerie and swimsuits.
