Fig. 197. Child's Appliqued Train Motif
A closely spaced satin stitch is usually used for
applique making it unnecessary to turn raw
edges to underside. The width of the satin
stitch may be varied to accommodate the
weave. Fine fabrics are appliqued with a
narrow satin stitch, while coarse fabrics re
quire a wide satin stitch. In many cases the
design is stitched to the garment with a satin
stitch and the edges are trimmed away later.
An alternate procedure is often used where
the design is stitched to the fabric with a short
straight stitch, the raw edges trimmed, and the
satin stitch used to complete the outline,
resulting in a smooth, lustrous edge. A trial
sample is always made to determine the
method most appropriate for the particular
work being done, since applique is appropriate
on such a diversity of fabrics.
Gay motifs from everyday life are spirited and
smart for resort wear, play clothes or furnish
ings in children’s rooms or recreation rooms.
