Appliqué, Patchwork and Quilt Stitching
■ Appliqué stitching
a
Baste or glue the appliqué piece to the
base fabric to secure it.
Note
• If glue is used to hold the appliqué in place
on the fabric, do not apply glue to areas
that will be sewn with the machine. If glue
adheres to the needle or bobbin case, the
machine may be damaged.
b
Attach the zigzag foot “J”.
c
Select a stitch.
* Stitches may differ depending on the
model. Check stitch selections on the
machine’s body, and then select the
stitch number.
* When none of the above stitches is
available, select “ ”, and at the
beginning and end of sewing, pull the
upper thread to the wrong side of the
fabric, and then tie it with the bobbin
thread.
* Do not use reverse stitching and
automatic reverse/reinforcement
stitching.
d
Turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise), and then begin
sewing around the edge of the appliqué,
making sure that the needle drops just
outside of the appliqué.
When sewing around corners, stop the
machine with the needle in the fabric just
outside of the appliqué, raise the presser
foot lever, and then turn the fabric as
needed to change the sewing direction.
