    Creating reverse applique involves hooping the desired applique fabric under the garment and then trimming the garment for the applique to show through. Here is how you do it.
     

    Step 1:

    In this example you can see the red applique material being placed under the denim which is our garment material. Hoop the garment this way and place on machine. You don't need stabilizer since the design only consists of running stitches.

    Step 2:
    Sew the design. Each design should only take a few minutes to sew. When done embroidering remove garment from Hoop.

    Step 3:
    Turn Garment inside out and trim away applique using applique scissors. This is the inside of the design and you won't see it when the project is finished.

    Step 4:
    Turn the garment over and carefully trim along the inside edge of the running stitch. This will reveal the applique underneath for a reverse applique effect. How much of an edge you leave will depend on the fringe effect you want. Leaving a wide edge will create a long fringe, while trimming very close to the running stitch will result in a short fringe.

    Step 5:

    This is what the design will look like before you launder it. After you launder the design the edges will fringe.
