Using a pair of curved tip appliqué scissors, closely trim the
excess fabric away from the tacking stitch. Take caution and
trim slowly to ensure you don’t accidentally cut the vinyl!
Run the tacking stitch to secure the appliqué in place.

Once your appliqué is trimmed, your project should look
something like this.
P
Follow your numbered machine steps to secure any
remaining appliqués and stitch the decorative embroidery.
Q R
Before the penultimate step, place the back piece you
created in the previous hooping over the zipper, aligning the
top edge of the fabric’s tacking stitch with the top edge of
the zipper tape.
Run the next machine step, which is a folding stitch to hold
the fabric in place.
