STITCHING OUT THE DESIGN
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
A B
Run your first machine step, which will be the placement
stitch for your first appliqué.
C D
Place a piece of appliqué right side facing up, being sure to
cover the placement stitches entirely.
Run the tacking stitch for the appliqué.
E F
Take a pair of sharp appliqué scissors and trim away any
excess appliqué fabric close to the placement stitch line.
Once trimmed, your standard appliqué should look like this.
Begin by hooping your base fabric and a piece of Tear Away
stabilizer. For this example we used white felt as our base.
NOTE: For this example, we are stitching design CQ5.
