STITCHING OUT YOUR SANTA
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
A B
Begin the design, following your design’s numbered machine
steps for all the decorative embroidery until you reach the
first placement stitch for a standard appliqué.
To start, hoop your project’s base fabric of choice with a
piece of tear away stabilizer.
C D
Place a piece of appliqué fabric right side facing up and
on top of the placement stitches. Be sure you cover the
placement stitches entirely.
Run the next machine step, which will be a tacking stitch for
the standard appliqué.
E F
Use embroidery scissors to trim the excess fabric up to the
tacking stitch.
Once you have trimmed the appliqué, the design will look
something like this.
