    First hoop one piece of tear away backing in your hoop. Then sew the 1st color stop which is the dieline. (You can now use this as a template to cut both the front and back applique pieces if you want.)

    Step 2:

    After the dieline has sewn, stop the machine and place the top applique piece. (If you are using your own fabric be sure to use an adhesive spray to keep the fabric in place.)

    Now place the bottom applique piece on the back of the design making sure that the applique piece is secure and will not fall off when you return the hoop to the machine. (Use spray adhesive if you are not using the PSA twill.)
