• If the appliqué piece is cut out along the inside
of the cutting line, it may not be correctly
attached to the fabric. Therefore, carefully cut
out the appliqué piece along the cutting line.
• After cutting out the appliqué piece, carefully
remove the thread.
• Do not remove the base fabric from the
embroidery frame until all embroidering is
finished.
• If the appliqué piece cannot be attached to the
base fabric with craft glue, securely baste it in
place with basting stitches.
• If thin fabric is used for the appliqué piece,
reinforce and secure it in place with an iron-on
adhesive sheet. An iron can be used to attach
the appliqué piece to the appliqué location.
