Creating An Appliqué Piece; Sample Projects Using Created Appliqué Pieces - Brother Duetta 4500D Operation Manual

Creating an Appliqué Piece
Appliqué pieces can be created from the built-in
patterns and patterns on embroidery cards. This is
convenient for fabrics that cannot be embroidered or
when you wish to attach an appliqué to a garment.
■ Sample Projects Using Created Appliqué
Pieces
Appliqué pieces can be attached to items that you
already own, such as bags and clothes, to customize
them. When attached to denim, the appliqué pattern
really stands out. Animal and fruit appliqués can be
used as children's toys.
■ Creating an Appliqué Piece
As an example, 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
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 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.
