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
embroidered. Do not cut inside the cutting line,
otherwise the appliqué fabric will not be caught by
the appliqué stitch.
k 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
embroidering 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.
l Embroider the placement line for the appliqué position
[APPLIQUE POSITION].

m 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.
n Embroider the outline [APPLIQUE].
1 Outline of appliqué piece
After embroidering is finished, remove the stabilizer
o
material from the embroidery frame.
Use scissors to cut the excess water-soluble stabilizer
p
from outside the appliqué outline.
q Soak the appliqué piece in water to dissolve the water-
soluble stabilizer.
r Dry the appliqué piece, and then iron it if necessary.
Note
• Do not apply a strong force when ironing,
otherwise the stitching may be damaged.
Memo
• The outline is embroidered using satin stitching.
• Some glue may get onto the presser foot, needle,
and needle plate at this time. Finish embroidering
the appliqué pattern, and then clean off the glue.
