STITCHING OUT YOUR DESIGN
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
A B
Run the first machine step. In our design, this is a placement
stitch for the first standard appliqué.
NOTE: Some designs will start with embroidery rather
than an appliqué, or may not have an appliqué at all. Be
sure to follow your design’s numbered machine steps.
To begin, hoop a piece of tear away stabilizer and the base
fabric of your choice.
For our example, we are stitching design SS5 on a piece
of white felt.
C D
Take a piece of standard appliqué and place it right side
facing up over the placement stitches, being sure to cover
them on all sides.
Proceed to run the tacking stitch for the appliqué.
E F
Using scissors, trim away the excess fabric from around the
tacking stitch line.
Once trimmed, the first appliqué will look something like this.
