Creating An Appliqué Piece - Brother PR1055X Operation Manual

Creating an appliqué piece
Appliqué pieces can be created from the built-in patterns and
patterns from other sources. This is convenient for fabrics that
cannot be embroidered or when you wish to attach an
appliqué to a garment.
■ Creating an appliqué piece
The following pattern will be used to create an appliqué
piece.
Note
• Felt or denim fabrics are recommended to make
the appliqué piece. Depending on the pattern and
fabric used, lighter weight fabrics may cause the
stitching to appear smaller.
• For best results, be sure to use stabilizer material
for embroidering.
• Select a frame that matches the pattern size.
Frame options are displayed on the LCD screen.
• Finish combining and editing the pattern before
selecting the appliqué setting. If the pattern is
edited after selecting the appliqué setting, the
appliqué stitching and pattern may become
misaligned.
• Since an outline is added, the pattern for an
appliqué piece (when the appliqué setting is
selected) will be larger than the original pattern.
First, adjust the size and position of the pattern as
shown below.
