2 After the appliqué piece is attached,
attach the embroidery frame to the
machine.

thread, lower the presser foot, and then
press the “Start/Stop” button to
embroider the appliqué.
4. Embroidering the Remainder of
the Pattern
1
Change the embroidery thread according
to the embroidery color order display,
and then finish embroidering the
remainder of the pattern.
Method 1
You can use framed patterns of the same size and
shape to create an appliqué. Embroider one
pattern with a straight stitch and one pattern with a
satin stitch.
1 Select a straight stitch frame pattern.
Embroider the pattern onto the appliqué
material, then cut neatly around the
outside of the shape.
2 Embroider the same pattern from step 1
onto the base fabric.
3 Apply a thin layer of fabric glue or a
temporary spray adhesive to the rear of
the appliqué created in step
1. Attach the
appliqué to the base fabric matching the
shapes.
• Since glue may become attached to the
embroidery foot, needle or needle plate, clean
off any glue off after finishing embroidering the
appliqué pattern.
• For best results, trim all excess threads each
time the thread color is changed.
Using a Frame Pattern to Make an
Appliqué
• If you change the size or position of the
patterns when making an appliqué, make a
note of the size and the location.
