STITCHING YOUR DESIGN
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Complete any decorative embroidery by following along with
with your design’s specific numbered machine steps for the
indicated color changes.

At some point in each design, there will be a placement
stitch for the first appliqué. Run the placement stitch.
Place appliqué fabric face up over the placement stitch. Be
sure to cover it entirely on all sides.
E F
Run the next machine step, which is the tacking stitch that
secures appliqué fabric to the design.
Use a pair of scissors to trim away the excess appliqué fabric
up to the tacking stitch.
To begin, hoop a piece of Tear Away stabilizer and your
choice of base fabric. Load your design.
