Applique
App
liques are quickly made and always pro-
du
ce
a beautiful fancy effect.
By
using
diffe
-
re
nt materials and patterns you can sew many
di
ff
erent variations. You can make a perfect,
densely stitched seam
with
the applique
foot
(special accesories), because it has a special
cutout on
the
underside
for
the
buttonhole
sea
m. The fusible backing fabric "Vliesofix"
ca
n be used
to
iron
the
applique
onto
the
material, making
it
easier
for
you
to
applique.
- Insert
the
applique
foot
in the sewing
machine.
- Transfer your
drafted
pattern
to
the face
side,
smooth
side,
of
the
fusible backing
fabric. Remember
that
e.g. letters have
to
be drawn
as
a
mirror
image.
- Now iron
the
backing
fabric
onto
the
appli-
que material. Cut
the
motif
out and pull
the
paper off.
-
Place and iron on
the
applique parts on
the
base material.
- Afterwards over-stitch all contours
with
dense zigzag stitch
G,
stitch
width
2 - 4
mm, stitch length
"buttonho
le". The needle
thread tension
is
in
the
"
buttonhole"
area.
Make sure
th
e needle stitches over
the
outer edge so
that
no fraying occurs later.
Tip: For applique pieces
which
are pointed at
the ends, you can make
the
dense zigzag
stitch narrower using
the
width
knob
(34)
so
that
the ends are pointed.
Richelieu
This especially
art
istic
form
of
eyelet and
insert embroidery is easy
to
sew
with
your
sewing machine.
- Using a magic marker,
draw
your
motif
onto
the
face side
of
the
fabric.
- Then
place
two
layers
of
Avalon fleece
underneath
the
parts
to
be embroidered
and
cl
a
mp
both
the
fabric and
the
fleece
into
an
embroidery
frame.
-
Insert decorative embroidery
foot
number 1.
- To
lend more
durability
to
the
embroidery,
sewall
of
the contours
twice
using
the
straight stitch (stitch length approx. 1 mm).
- Then
carefully cut
out
the
fabric
2
mm
next
to
the
contour
from
the
areas
which
are to
be
hollow. The fleece
must
not
move
.
- Embroider
the
contours
with
a dense zigzag
stitch.
- Due
to
the
fleece,
this
part
of
the
work
is
much more stable and strong.
-
Finally,
simply
dissolve
the
embroidery
fleece in cold
water
and your
one-of
-a-kind
design is finished.
