Creating an Appliqué Piece
Appliqué pieces can be created from the built-in
patterns and imported patterns. 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.
• When making appliqué pieces, do not use
the optional border embroidery frame.
Depending on the pattern density and fabric
used, shrinkage of the stitching may occur.

Select the pattern, and edit it if necessary.
Note
• 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.
