APPLIQUÉ
Appliqué adds beauty and interest to clothing and household linens. You can create your own
design, trace a simple outline from a colouring book, or use a motif cut from a printed fabric.
Fabrics of similar or different textures combine equally well.
A closely spaced plain zig-zag stitch is used for appliqué 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.
• Pattern Group Selector; /
• Needle Position: i. ij.! J.i
• Stitch Width; To suit fabric
• Stitch Length; Between 0 and 1
• General Purpose Needle Plate
• Special Purpose Foot
Preparation
• Baste appliqué design to fabric and outline
the design with a short straight stitch.
• Remove basting and press.
Method 1 - Trimming after Stitching
• Set machine as code recommends.
• Outline the entire design with appliqué
stitching.
• Cut away the fabric or the outer edges of
the stitching with embroidery scissors.
Method 2 - Stitching after Trimming
• Trim outside fabric edges close to straight
stitch outline of design.
• Set machine as code recommends.
• Overedge the design with appliqué stitching.
This step will produce a smooth, lustrous
finish that requires no additional trimming.
