Creating an Appliqué Piece
Creating an appliqué piece is convenient for fabrics that
cannot be embroidered or when you wish to attach an
appliqué to a garment.
 Creating an Appliqué Piece
The following pattern will be used to create an appliqué
piece.
a
Select the pattern, and edit it if necessary.
b
Touch and then, touch .
c
Specify the distance between the pattern and the
appliqué outline, and then touch .

The pattern and appliqué outline are grouped.
Note
• Felt or denim fabrics are recommended to make
the appliqué piece. Depending on the pattern and
fabric used, lighter weight fabrics may cause the
stitching to appear smaller.
• For best results, be sure to use stabilizer material
for embroidering.
• When making appliqué pieces, do not use the
optional border embroidery frame. Depending on
the pattern density and fabric used, shrinkage of
the stitching may occur.
Note
• Finish combining and editing the pattern before
selecting the appliqué setting. If the pattern is
edited after selecting the appliqué setting, the
appliqué stitching and pattern may become
misaligned.
• Since an outline is added, the pattern for an
appliqué piece (when the appliqué setting is
selected) will be larger than the original pattern.
First, adjust the size and position of the pattern as
shown below.
