APPLIQUE
Method No. 2. Set Selector and Red Lever to AK 3
for straight stitching. Outline the entire design with
a short stitch. Trim the raw edges down to the
stitching.
Set Selector and Red Lever to the stitch pattern
desired, and overedge the design with this stitch­
ing. A smooth, lustrous finish results, which requi­
res no additional trimming.

Corded Applique. The Special Purpose Foot,
which provides for a filler cord, is perfect for cord­
ed applique work. Gimp, crochet thread or button­
hole twist are generally used.
See page 47 for threading.
Either method of appliqueing may be used when
cording is desired. The only change in procedure is
the introduction of the cord, over which the appli­
que stitching is formed.
This stitching technique results in a raised, di­
mensional effect, and is an ideal finish for lace ap­
plique.

MONOGRAMS AND MOTIFS
Any of the many stitch patterns are perfect for
monograms and motifs.
Select a design from the many transfer patterns
available or sketch one to suit your purpose.
Some fabrics may require a backing of lawn or
organdy.
Position the design on the right side of the ma- .
terial. Trim backing away when stitching is comp­
leted, if necessary.
V/i'V';'" MM
To reproduce a specific portion of a stitch pat­
tern, first stitch on a scrap of material until the de­
sired point in the design is reached.
Remove the material from under the presser foot.
Now position motif or monogram under the needle.
Lower presser foot and stitch.
This procedure is recommended for all precise
design placement. Leaves, and flower petals, for
example are created in this way.
