Applique Instructions
My appliqué instruction are included with each appliqué. I
suggest you print them so that you will not have to go back
and forth from the design to the directions. I give you simple
and brief, and short instructions and you will find it soooo easy.
FIRST: The first step is a machine stitched outline of the
appliqué. With this outline you can determine where on your
garment to place the design and how much space it will take.
SECOND: We will begin sewing in each part of the appliqué
according to order. There are 2 different color thread
outlines for each piece of the appliqué to be sewn on. Each
piece of the appliqué will have its own thread color outline for
fabric placement and for sewing the fabric in place. These are
called color stops. These odd colors stop the machine so a
particular action can take place.
After the first outline you will place your chosen fabric. The
second color will sews the fabric into position. These colors will
not show in the finished appliqué.
THIRD: You remove the hoop from the machine WITHOUT
removing
the fabric from the hoop, and trim along the stitch line as
close as possible. Be car full as you trim that you do not
loosen the fabric in the hoop. Loose fabric will throw off your
appliqué stitch.
FOURTH: You replace the hoop back into the machine and the
appliqué satin stitch appliqués the design ....
This procedure is repeated with each part of the design.
There will be times when you may go to the next placement
before trimming. That will be IF you cut your fabric to fit the
next outline and in doing so, does not get in the way of the
previous fabric, and sews parts that should not be sewn.
Each step will be numbered in sequence and you will know
exactly what to do and when as briefly and as clearly as
possible.
I suggest that you spray the back of your fabric with a light
coating of fabric adhesive before placing it on the design. Or,
better still iron Wonder Under on the back side to give more
body. I personally, like the Wonder Under best because it
does not wash out and each time you press the garment you
have a neatly adhered appliqué instead of a loose one.....Try
both methods and then you decide.
