Now place your base fabric, right side facing up, over your
batting. Be sure to have enough fabric for at least a 1⁄2” seam
allowance around all sides.
Your next machine step will be the tacking stitch for your
base fabric. Run this step in a thread color that matches your
material.
Run any standard embroidery or stippling steps until you
have reached the placement stitch for the standard
appliqué shape.
Your next machine step will be the tacking stitch to secure
the appliqué fabric.
Place your appliqué fabric with the right side facing up,
being sure all sides of the placement stitch is covered.
Once tacked down, trim away any excess material from the
tacking stitch line using a pair of curved tip scissors.
