Satin Stitch Appliqué
A close Zigzag Stitch is called a Satin Stitch. Satin Stitching is a great
way to finish an appliqué on children’s garments and home decorating
projects. Try a rayon thread for a smoother looking finish.
Machine Set-Up:
Stitch: Zigzag Stitch
Stitch Width: 2-3
Stitch Length: 1-2
Presser Foot: Satin Foot *
or Standard Foot
Materials:
2” x 3” cotton fabric for simple-shaped applique
2” x 3” fusible stabilizer
6” x 6” cotton foundation fabric
6” x 6” tear-away stabilizer
Procedure:
Press the fusible stabilizer onto the simple-shaped applique.
Fuse the simple-shaped 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.
*Depending on model, the Satin Foot might be optional. Check the instruction manual.
