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.
