Appliqué

Sew a placement line, lay the fabric, tack it down, trim, and cover the edge with satin or zigzag.

Updated October 12, 2026

The appliqué stitch type sews a placement line, pauses for you to lay the fabric, tacks it down, pauses for trimming, and covers the edge with satin or zigzag. Each stage can have its own thread, and each pause can be a colour change or a stop.
