Depends on what size applique you are doing. I also use two threads sometimes to make it show more and I use wider sts then. Just cut a strip a sample of the same weight fabs and test for the look tha looks right. Lengthen abd shorten the distance between the bites and also the length of the bite... you will figure it out then when it is where you like it do keep that sample and write on it what the settings are. You will not have to fiddle with it the next time... :) :-) :D :-D :lol:
