Place your front fabric face up on the the sticky side of the
stabilizer, using your pin to match the center mark.
TIP: By marking the center of the hoop, you can be confident
in where your design will stitch.
Follow your machine steps until you get to the placement
stitch for the first appliqué.
Once you have matched the center of your fabric to the center of
your hoop, press the fabric firmly against the stabilizer so that it sticks
completely to the fabric. Then you may begin your embroidery steps.
TIP: Due to the organic shapes of flower designs, you may need to
place the fabric at an angle.
