Most embroidery machine applique designs are digitized with a satin stitch on the outer edges. The Holiday Birdies have such a pretty decorative stitch that make them extra special.
I encourage any one to give machine applique a try. If you have an embroidery machine, it is particularly easy, but even with a sewing machine you can get wonderful results. I have done both. With my sewing machine I have used the blanket stitch with good results, but now that you mention decorative stitching, I need to experiment with some of my built-in stitches. I would think that any of the decorative stitches that stitch forward (not backwards and forward) would work. Thank you for the idea.
