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.
