APPLIQUÉ INSTRUCTIONS:

Fabric Prep: Appliqué fabric should be washed and dried prior to using so that it’s preshrunk. Also, I recommend applying heat n bond lite to the back of the fabric, then peel off the paper backing before placing the material on your embroidery project.

Appliqué files have three steps and you need to keep the thread colors different for these three steps so your machine will stop (single needle machine). Even if you don’t change the thread on the machine, the different colored thread in the design will force the machine to stop.

Step 1 Placement: Place your hooped project on the machine and run the first color. This is the placement stitch to show where to lay the fabric.

Step 2 Tackdown: Lay your fabric (with heat n bond lite on the back) over the placement stitch and run the second stitch. This is the tackdown stitch to hold the fabric in place.

Step 3 Finishing Stitch: Remove the hoop from the machine, but DO NOT unhoop your project. Trim the appliqué fabric as close to the stitches as possible without cutting into the stitches. Place the hoop back on the machine and run the third and final step which is the edge stitch or finishing stitch.

For designs with two different fabrics, the order is usually bottom layer placement stitch, bottom layer tackdown stitch, top layer placement stitch, top layer tackdown stitch, bottom layer edge stitch, top layer edge stitch. Trim fabric after each tackdown stitch before proceeding to the edge stitch.

Happy Stitching!
