Fold and stitch on the bias. When the needle swings to the right, allow the needle to just clear the folded edge of the fabric.

Open the fabric and iron on one side of the fabric.

Stitch patterns, (27, 28) can also be used.

Applique, a technique for stitching fabric shapes onto another fabric, opens limitless design possibilities. Dimension and texture can be added by lightly stuffing all or part of a design. This machine has several differ- ent patterns that can be used to enhance your applique.

In this type of applique raw edges are folded under. To finish the raw edge, cut the applique design out of cardboard. Fuse a lightweight interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric then cut the fabric slightly larger than the cardboard.

Fold the fabric around the cardboard and press to form a perfectly shaped design.

Tape the applique in place and sew, guiding the slit on foot F next to the finished edge of the applique.
