STITCHING OUT A DESIGN
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
A B
Place the appliqué fabric, right side facing up, on top of the
placement stitches. Be sure the fabric covers the placement
stitches entirely.
To begin, hoop your project fabric and a piece of tear
away stabilizer to fit your hoop frame. Load the design of
your choice and run the first machine step, which will be a
placement stitch for the first appliqué.
C D
Run the next machine step, which is the tacking stitch
to secure the appliqué in place. NOTE: It’s best to tack
appliqué fabric in a thread color that matches the fabric,
that way it will be more easily hidden by decorative
stitches later!
Use scissors to trim away the excess appliqué fabric,
trimming close to the tacking stitch.
