Once the batting is trimmed, place your base fabric right side
facing up over top. You will need to ensure you have enough
fabric extending past the batting for a 1⁄2” seam allowance on
all sides.

Run the next machine step, which will be a tacking stitch to
secure your base fabric. NOTE: If you are running a design
without any appliqué, simply follow the numbered machine
steps for the indicated color changes beyond this point.
Using your design’s numbered machine steps, continue
running any decorative embroidery or stippling until you
have reached the placement stitch step for your first set
of appliqué.
Using a sharp pair of curved-tip appliqué scissors, trim away
your excess batting close to the tacking stitch line.
