Memo
• Three steps are added to the sewing order:
appliqué cutting line, position of pattern
placement on the garment, and appliqué
stitching.
1 Cutting line for appliqué
2 Position of pattern placement on garment
3 Appliqué stitching
• We recommend using thread for the cutting
line "APPLIQUE MATERIAL" that is closest
to the color of the fabric.
g Fuse or stick a piece of stabilizer to the
back of the felt or denim fabric to be used
as the appliqué piece.
h Hoop the appliqué fabric in the embroidery
frame, attach the embroidery frame to the
machine, and then start embroidering.
i After the cutting line "APPLIQUE
MATERIAL" is embroidered, stop the
machine and remove the appliqué material
from the embroidery frame.
j Carefully cut along the stitching. After
cutting, carefully remove all of the cutting
line thread.
1 Cutting line for appliqué
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.
Sew the placement line for the appliqué
position "APPLIQUE POSITION".
1 Pattern placement line
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.
