Lightly apply fabric glue or spray adhesive to
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
4.
• 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.

Finish sewing the embroidery.
