APPLIOUB
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,
Comibination Patterns and Variations present many
interesting ways to applique with decorative
stitching.
Preparation. There are two methods by which
applique work m.ay 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 pres­
ser bar.
Method No. 1. Set Selector and stitch width lever
for the desired stitch pattern. Following the shape
of the design, outline it entirely with applique stit­
ching. Any excess fabric on the outer edges is
trimmed away after the stitching has been comple­
ted.
