    • Preface:
    Applique is fun and looks great! This tutorial will teach you how and when to place and cut the material needed in applique designs.
     

    Step 1:

    Start sewing the design as you normally would. After the machine sews the outline/marking stitch be sure to stop the machine.

    Step 2:

    Place the material over the outline stitch. Make sure the square is big enough to completely cover the stitch. Use light spray adhesive to hold the material down.

    Step 3:

    Start the machine. The tack-down stitch will now sew on top of the applique securing it to the garment.

    Step 4:

    This is what the design will look like when the tack-stitch is completed.

    Step 5:

    The next step is to completely cut around the tack-down stitch. We recommend applique scissors.

    Step 6:

    Applique scissors prevent you from cutting through the garment by accident.

    Step 7:

    After you are finished cutting the design out start the machine. The design will continue to sew and you are done with the applique portion of the design.
