Place your main appliqué fabric right side up and covering the
placement stitches on all sides. Remember to leave enough
fabric hanging over the edges to provide a 1⁄2” seam allowance.
Run the tacking stitch in a matching thread color.

Now, use scissors to trim away the excess fabric from the tacking
stitch, remembering not to trim your 1⁄2” seam allowance.
Now, run the placement stitch for the folded fabric band (seen in
white). Then, place the fabric, right side down, aligning it with the
edge of the tacked fabric.
K L
Run the folding stitch for the fabric (white line). Then, fold the
fabric taut over the line, giving it a good finger crease, and secure
with tape if needed.
Run the next step in the design which will tack the folded fabric
band in place. Remember to match your thread to your fabric for
the cleanest finish.
