STITCHING A DESIGN
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
A B
Follow along with your designs specific numbered machine
steps to complete any decorative embroidery.
C D
At some point, your design may include a standard appliqué.
This will be noted in your design’s numbered machine steps.
Run the placement stitch.
Place a piece of appliqué fabric right-side-up over the
placement stitch, being sure to cover it entirely.
E F
Run the next machine step, which is the tacking stitch that
secures the 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
desired base fabric.
