7.2 Appliqués
Appliqués attached using the blanket stitch look as if they have been sewn by hand.
> Place an appliqué on the fabric and baste or pin it in place, or iron it on using double-sided adhesive non-
woven material.
> Fit the zigzag foot or open embroidery foot.
> Set the stitch pattern selector knob to position «D».
> Set the stitch length knob to «S2».
> Set the required stitch width.
> Sew while guiding the fabric so the needle falls along the outer edge of the appliqué.
> When sewing around a corner, stop the machine with the needle in the lower position at the outer edge
of the appliqué. Raise the presser foot and pivot the fabric around the needle to change the sewing
direction.
7.3 Guiding the quilt work freely
Quilting gloves with rubber nubs make it easier to guide the fabric.
We recommend using the extension table. When freehand quilting, it is advantageous to start from the
center and work outwards. Guide the fabric with gentle, round movements in all directions until the required
pattern has been created. Freehand quilting and darning use the same principle of free movement.
