Using a frame pattern to make an appliqué
(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.
a
Select a straight stitch frame pattern. Embroider the
pattern onto the appliqué material, then cut neatly
around the outside of the shape.
b
Embroider the same pattern from step a onto the
base fabric.
c
Apply a thin layer of fabric glue or a temporary spray
adhesive to the rear of the appliqué created in step a.
Attach the appliqué to the base fabric matching the
shapes.
d
Select the satin stitch frame pattern of the same shape
as the appliqué. Embroider over the appliqué and base
fabric from step c to create the appliqué.
Memo
• Since glue may become attached to the presser
foot, needle or needle plate, clean the glue off of
the parts after finishing embroidering the appliqué
pattern.
• For best results, trim all excess threads each time
the thread color is changed.
Note
• If you change the size or position of the patterns
when selecting them, make a note of the size
and location.
