Appliqué / Tackle Twill - Sewing Process<br />
Appliqué or Tackle Twill designs are designs that are specifically digitized for using fabric<br />
instead of stitches to fill in an area of a design. Usually a pattern is needed and<br />
there are many techniques used to make an appliqué pattern. Below is the process<br />
for sewing appliqué on the embroidery machine.<br />
The Appliqué Sewing Process<br />
Locator Stitch<br />
Appliqué Fabric<br />
Tack down Stitch<br />
#1 The appliqué<br />
locater stitch<br />
(outline stitch) is<br />
sewn on the fabric.<br />
If an appliqué<br />
stop is programmed,<br />
the<br />
machine will stop<br />
sewing between the color<br />
changes.<br />
#2 The appliqué fabric is<br />
placed on top of locater<br />
stitch (spray adhesive can be<br />
used to hold fabric in place).<br />
#3 The appliqué tack down<br />
stitch is sewn next. This can<br />
be a column or a walk element.<br />
This stitch is used to<br />
hold the fabric down.<br />
Cover Stitch<br />
#4 Tackle Twill look! The<br />
cover stitch is turned off.<br />
#5 The appliqué cover stitch<br />
is sewn after the tack down<br />
stitch. This is usually a satin<br />
stitch. (if the tack down stitch<br />
is not turned off).<br />
