Haha "dark magic".....Another way I do applique is turn the vector into a run
stitch, then right click and select "change element type." Select "single line
center" but click "add" instead of "replace." Then you have both the run
stitch, for the placement, and the zig-zag or satin stitch for keeping the
applique in place. Once you have the single line input, you can go into it's
properties and offset it to whatever percentage you want. (90% on, 10 % off, or
75% on, 25% off, etc.)
If you only want a run stitch to tack down whatever your applique fabric is,
you can skip the first step.....just turn the vector into the "single line
center" input, set your line width at whatever offset you'll want (1.5mm). Then
go to the object's properties and change the single line to be either to the
right or the left (depending on how it was digitized....just make sure the
input line is the outer line). Once you do that, right click on the object,
operations and click change element type. Choose "walk normal." At the bottom,
select "edge" (rather than input line) Click replace, and YAY!....two run
stitches. :-) The only issue with this way, is you now have to duplicate it,
and delete the outer line on one, and the inner line on the other so that you
can make two separate colors and re-sequence.
There are a ton of ways to go about it, just pick whatever is easiest for you.
