Using a frame pattern to make an appliqué
You can use framed patterns of the same size and shape to
create an appliqué. Embroider one pattern with a straight
stitch and one pattern with a satin stitch.
■ Method 1
a
Select a straight stitch frame pattern. Embroider the
pattern onto the appliqué material, then cut neatly
around the outside of the shape.
b
Embroider the same pattern from step
a
onto the
base fabric.
Apply a thin layer of fabric glue or a temporary spray
adhesive to the back of the appliqué created in step
a
. Attach the appliqué to the base fabric matching
the shapes.
c
Select the satin stitch frame pattern of the same shape
as the appliqué. Embroider over the appliqué and base
fabric from step
b
to create the appliqué.
■
Method 2
a
Select a straight stitch frame pattern, and embroider
the pattern onto the base fabric.
b
Place the appliqué fabric over the pattern embroidered
in step
a
and embroider the same pattern on the
appliqué fabric.
• Be sure that the appliqué fabric completely covers
the stitched line.
c
Remove the embroidery frame from the embroidery
unit, and cut around the outside of the stitches of the
appliqué fabric.
And then, reattach the embroidery frame to the
embroidery unit.
d
Select the satin stitch frame pattern of the same shape
as the appliqué and embroider the satin stitch pattern
to create an appliqué.
• Do not change the size or position of the pattern.
Note
• Do not remove the fabric from the embroidery frame to
cut it. Also, do not pull or push on the fabric. Otherwise,
the fabric may loosen in the frame.
