VARIOUS EMBROIDERING FUNCTIONS138f Fuse or stick a piece of stabilizer to the back of the feltor denim fabric to be used as the appliqué piece.g Hoop the fabric for the appliqué piece in theembroidery frame, attach the embroidery frame to themachine, and then start embroidering.h After the pattern is embroidered, thread the machinewith the thread for the cutting line, and then sew thecutting line (APPLIQUE MATERIAL).i Remove the fabric for the appliqué piece from theembroidery frame, and then carefully cut along thestitching. After cutting, carefully remove all of thecutting line thread.j Use two layers of adhesive water soluble stabilizermaterial with their sticky sides together, and then hoopthem in the embroidery frame.k Thread the machine with the thread for the outline,and then sew the placement line for the appliquéposition (APPLIQUE POSITION).1 Pattern placement linel Use two-sided stabilizer material, and paste theappliqué piece so that it aligns with the placement line.m With the machine threaded using the thread for theoutline from step k, embroider the outline(APPLIQUE).n After embroidering is finished, remove the stabilizermaterial from the embroidery frame.1 Cutting line for appliquéMemo• We recommend using thread for the cutting linethat is closest to the color of the fabric.Note• Depending on the pattern density and fabric used,there may be shrinking of the pattern, or theappliqué may be misaligned with the placementline. We recommend cutting slightly outside of thecutting line. Do not cut inside the cutting line,otherwise the appliqué fabric will not be caught bythe appliqué stitch.• When using patterns that are vertically andhorizontally symmetrical, use a chalk pencil toindicate the pattern orientation before cutting it out.aNote• If water soluble stabilizer is used, it is notnecessary to remove the stabilizer material aftersewing the appliqué outline. To reduce shrinkageof the pattern, we recommend using water solublestabilizer.• Put together two layers of water soluble stabilizer,otherwise the stabilizer material may tear duringembroidering.1 Outline of appliquépieceNote• Since glue may become attached to the presserfoot, needle or needle plate, clean off any glue afterfinishing embroidering the appliqué pattern.aa
