Lessons

 
It's Time for Fall and it is a great time to sew those colorful leaves! We like to us the colorful fabrics available and appliqué. Using machine embroidery you can appliqué rather quickly. Here is a quick appliqué lesson. We will use the Janome Digitizer for this lesson although this technique can be easily done by any software..

Scan an imagine or find clip art of a leaf image. I have included a few in our download and will tell you where at the end of the lesson.

I have faded the image to show I have digitized a running stitch around the imagine. Even though this program has an auto appliqué feature I prefer to digitize my own appliqué. The first step in sewing the appliqué would be to lay the appliqué fabric down on the background, sew the outline and using sharp scissors, trim up to the running stitch.

Change color so the machine stops and them digitize the stain stitch and the details.

I used a running stitch for the veins and then a color change and a turning angles fill in stain for the stem.

As you can see appliqué is fast and easy to do. Using a combination embroidery or a program like the Customizer you can layout your leaves for a pleasing effect.
