the back of the appliqué piece that was cut
out, and then attach the appliqué piece to the
base fabric at the position sewn using the
“Appliqué Position” pattern in step

.

• If an iron-on stabilizer is used to attach the

appliqué piece to the base fabric, iron the
pieces together without removing the base
fabric from the embroidery frame.

6

After attaching the appliqué piece, sew an
“Appliqué” pattern. The appliqué is finished.

• Depending on the pattern, an “Appliqué”

pattern may not be available. In this case,
sew the appliqué using thread in the color of
a part of the embroidery.

7

Finish sewing the embroidery.

Using a frame pattern to
create appliqués (1)

Appliqués can be created by sewing two frame
patterns of the same size and shape—one sewn with
straight stitches and the other sewn with satin
stitches.

1

Select a frame pattern sewn with straight
stitches to embroider onto the fabric for the
appliqué. Carefully cut outside of the
stitching.

2

Embroider the same pattern on the base
fabric.
