Fuse or stick a piece of stabilizer to the back of the felt
or denim fabric to be used as the appliqué piece.

Hoop the fabric for the appliqué piece in the
embroidery frame, attach the embroidery frame to the
machine, and then start embroidering.

After the pattern is embroidered, thread the machine
with the thread for the cutting line, and then sew the
cutting line (APPLIQUE MATERIAL).
i
Remove the fabric for the appliqué piece from the
embroidery frame, and then carefully cut along the

material with their sticky sides together, and then hoop
them in the embroidery frame.

Memo
• We recommend using thread for the cutting line
that is closest to the color of the fabric.
Note
• Depending on the pattern density and fabric used,
there may be shrinking of the pattern, or the
appliqué may be misaligned with the placement
line. We recommend cutting slightly outside of the
cutting line. Do not cut inside the cutting line,
otherwise the appliqué fabric will not be caught by
the appliqué stitch.
• When using patterns that are vertically and
horizontally symmetrical, use a chalk pencil to
indicate the pattern orientation before cutting it out.
a
Note
• If water soluble stabilizer is used, it is not
necessary to remove the stabilizer material after
sewing the appliqué outline. To reduce shrinkage
of the pattern, we recommend using water soluble
stabilizer.
• Put together two layers of water soluble stabilizer,
otherwise the stabilizer material may tear during
embroidering.

• Since glue may become attached to the presser
foot, needle or needle plate, clean off any glue after
finishing embroidering the appliqué pattern.
