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.
When using patterns that are vertically and
horizontally symmetrical, use a chalk
pencil to indicate the pattern orientation
before cutting it out.
Carefully cut out the pattern on the outline
you just sewed. Do not cut inside the
cutting line, otherwise the appliqué fabric
will not be caught by the appliqué stitch.

Use two layers of adhesive water-soluble
stabilizer material with their sticky sides
together, and then hoop them in the
embroidery frame.
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.
a
Sew the placement line for the appliqué
position “APPLIQUE POSITION”.

b
Lightly apply glue or spray adhesive, and
paste the appliqué piece so that it aligns with
the placement line.
Note
Before pasting the appliqué piece down,
make sure the appliqué piece is positioned
correctly within the placement line.

Sew the outline “APPLIQUE”.

After embroidering is finished, remove the
stabilizer material from the embroidery
frame.

Use scissors to cut the excess water-soluble
stabilizer from outside the appliqué outline.
