CREATING THE BACK
The next step is the placement
stitch for the first appliqué.
TIP
Take the appliqué fabric and place it
face up on top of the placement stitch.
Make sure that the fabric will cover
the placement stitch on all sides.
The next machine step is the tacking stitch.
This will hold the appliqué fabric in place.
Use embroidery scissors to trim away the
excess fabric up to the tacking stitch.
