CHANGING STITCH TYPE – APPLIQUE
PSW 2.00a has a new Appliqué stitch.
• Running stitches are first placed around the outline edge.
• A second block of outline running stitches (for securing appliqué
fabric to background fabric).
• Outline of running satin stitches (for stitching around the trimmed
edge of the appliqué).
Blocks in Complex Fill can be changed to Appliqué instantly! At times the
appliqué method may be a better stitch choice for a given design because it
reduces the overall design density (depending on fabric) and greatly reduces
stitching time. Design segments and/or entire designs can be appliquéd,
creating interest and artistic effects.
1. From the Main Menu, select Edit: Edit Outlines.
2. Click the left mouse on the stitch block to be changed.
3. Click on Properties icon from Horizontal toolbar.
4. Click on Stitch Type, then click on Appliqué.
5. Click OK, and the stitch block automatically becomes an appliqué.
