Decorative sewing and embroidery techniques
Decorative buttonhole
This buttonhole is a beautiful alternative to the
traditional buttonhole (see page 32-33). Since
you determine the width of the buttonhole
seam, the buttonhole can have a width of up
to 10 mm.
Sew two buttonhole seams about 1 mm
apart using a dense zigzag stitch (stitch G
(1540), E (1530/1520), stitch width 3-5
mm). The needle thread tension is set to
“buttonhole”.
Select the right needle position and sew
over both ends of the buttonhole seam with
a triangle. To do this, turn the stitch width
dial (27) during sewing constantly from 0 to
5
and back to 0. The top of the triangle
should meet the middle of both buttonhole
seams.
Appliqué
Appliqués are quickly made and always produce
a beautiful fancy effect. By using different
materials and patterns you can
sew many different variations. You can make a
perfect, densely stitched seam with the appliqué
foot (special accessories), because it has a
special cutout on the
underside for the buttonhole seam. Use a fusible
backing fabric to iron the appliqué onto the
material, making it easier for you to appliqué.
Insert the appliqué foot in the sewing
machine.
Transfer your drafted pattern to the face side,
smooth side, of the fusible backing fabric.
Remember that e.g. letters have to be drawn
as a mirror image.
Now iron the backing fabric onto the
appplqué material. Cut the motif out and pull
the paper off.
Place and iron on the appliqué parts on the
base material.
Sew over a appliqué material edges with
the dense zigzag, stitch G (1540), E (1530/
1520), stitch width 2-4 mm, stitch length
“buttonhole”. The needle thread tension is in
the “buttonhole” area. Make sure the needle
stitches over the outer edge so that no
fraying occurs later.
Tip: For appliqué pieces which are pointed
at the ends, you can make the zigzag stitch
narrower using the width dial (27) so that the
ends are pointed.
