Open Toe Foot
CAUTION:
To prevent accidents, do not change the stitch
width to wider than 5.0. Otherwise, needle could
hit the presser foot and break.
1. Set the applique in place on the base fabric with
temporary fabric spray adhesive or by using
fusible web.
2. Sew with the right side of the stitch following
the right edge of the applique as closely as
possible.
When sewing sharp angles or curves
Bring needle to lowest position and raise the
presser foot.
Use needle as pivot and turn fabric.
Note:
Applique can also be done with a satin stitch using
the Satin Foot (p. 56). It may be helpful to place a
fabric stabilizer underneath your work, which may
help prevent any fabric puckering.
