AppliquésAppliqués are shaped pieces of fabric sewn onto a foundation fabric to form a design or pattern. The most popular method for attaching an appliqués is with satin stitch, (a zigzag stitch with a shortened stitch length.) Other stitches may also be used, such as the pin stitch, blanket stitch and blind stitch. Attach an appliqué by stitching over the edges of the applique shape. For satin stitch, make sure the right swing of the needle is just over the raw edge of the appliqué shape and the left swing of the needle is within the appliqué shape. For a hand sewn look, use blanket stitch or blind stitch sewing. Try using a different threads with the blanket stitch for a vintage feel. Set stitch length and width proportionate to the appliqué size and the look you want for your project. Decorative StitchingThe Open Toe Foot works well for decorative stitching because the tunnel on the underside of the foot allows the stitches to feed smoothly under the foot.
