Nope, all hand applique. My sewing machine is, seriously, a 1969 Montgomery Ward model. Probably why I don't do a very good job sewing on it. Hubby bought it for me the first Christmas we were married. So obviously, no applique work done on that antique. It does straight stitching, and if it gets fancy - zig-zag.
