Note: You may need to open up part of the inner 
sleeve seam to allow enough room to get the sleeve 
on the machine to stitch the motif. 

6.  Embellish around and on top of the motifs using the 

hot-fix applicator wand and hot-fix crystals or hand 
sew on the beads. 

Instructions:

1.  From the printed cotton fabric, cut around 

several motifs. 

2.  Position the motifs on the front, back and 

sleeve of the denim jacket. Rotate and 
move the motifs around until you are 
satisfied with their placement.

 
3.  Lightly spray the wrong side of the motifs 

with temporary spray adhesive and return 
them to the desired location, pin in place.

4.  Thread the machine with all-purpose 

thread and select a straight stitch or zigzag 

stitch.

5.  Stitch around each motif to appliqué it 

to the denim jacket. A straight stitch will 
create raw edge applique and a more 
casual look.
