Satin Stitch Appliqué
Satin Stitching is a series of closely spaced zig-zag stitches. Satin Stitching
can be used for monograms, embroidery and appliqué work to produce a
smooth satin-like appearance. Try a rayon thread for a smoother looking
finish.

Procedure:
Press the fusible stabilizer onto the appliqué.
Fuse the appliqué onto the cotton foundation fabric.
(Fusing the appliqué into place will keep the appliqué from shifting
while stitching.)
Place a tear-away stabilizer underneath the fabric. (This is used to
ensure quality stitching when using dense stitches.)
Place the applique under the foot, so that half of the stitch will form on the
applique and half on the base fabric.
Sew around the applique.
Widen the stitch width to 4 and change the stitch length to below 1.
