Run the decorative embroidery until you reach a placement
stitch (or set of placement stitches) for the first standard
appliqué. NOTE: Some designs will feature multiple
appliqués. Be sure to read and follow along with your
chosen design’s numbered machine steps!
Take a piece of appliqué fabric and lay it right side facing
up over the placement stitches. Ensure you fabric is large
enough to cover the placement stitches entirely, while still
having enough fabric for a 1⁄2” seam allowance anywhere the
appliqué will extend past the block’s outer tacking stitch line.

Proceed to run the tacking stitch for the appliqué(s). Using scissors, trim away the excess appliqué fabric,
ensuring you leave the fabric anywhere it extends past the
outer tacking stitch, as shown.
Take a piece of base fabric and place it right side facing up
over the batting block, being sure to have enough fabric for
a 1⁄2” seam allowance on all 4 sides.
