3. I have a bernia as she did and she uses the #20 foot and #3 stitch reversed so it does 2 running stitches and 1 zig stitch.

That's it. Looks great when you get done, can't see the stitches at all and the applique is stitched down solid.

Some of you probably already know about this who have the patience to do trial and error. I don't have that patience so this was a wonderful help so I could cut to the chase and start sewing.

Look for the tutorial within the week. I'll round up all of the supplies and I'm sure some of you have see this before also.
I strongly dislike applique, but love the look of it. I'll keep watching to see the tute. YAY! Thanks!
