Most machines nowadays have buil-int, programmed stitches. Use these to full effect with lustrous embroidery threads and a few satin ribbons to enhance any project.

To applique a ribbon or braid:

Stabilise the fabric by placing either Calico or Stitch ‘n’ Tear underneath.

Set the machine to zig-zag or choose from other built-in stitches.

Adjust the stitch size to desired length and width.

Lay a length of ribbon or braid along the fabric.
