APPLIQUE
Appliqué adds beauty and interest to wearing
apparel,' linens and fabric furnishings.
Either contrasting or self fabric may be used
effectively. The most versatile stitch for appliqué
is a closely set zigzag stitch (Primary Pattern BL).
The width of this stitch may be varied to accom
modate weaves and textures of fabrics. Combina
tion Patterns and Variations present many interest
ing ways to appliqué with decorative stitching.
Preparation. There are two methods by which
appliqué work may be done. The appropriate
9
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
presser bar.
Method No. 1. Set Selector and Lever for the
desired stitch pattern. Following the shape of the
design, outline it entirely with appliqué stitching.
Any excess fabric on the outer edges is trimmed
away after the stitching has been completed.
