After the pattern is embroidered, thread the 
machine with the thread for the cutting 
line, and then sew the cutting line 
(APPLIQUE MATERIAL).

j

Remove the appliqué material from the 
embroidery frame, and then carefully cut 
along the stitching. After cutting, carefully 
remove all of the cutting line thread.

k

Use two layers of adhesive water-soluble 
stabilizer material with their sticky sides 
together, and then hoop them in the 
embroidery frame.

Thread the machine with the thread for the 
outline from step

, and then sew the 

placement line for the appliqué position 
(APPLIQUE POSITION).

Lightly apply glue or spray adhesive, and 
paste the appliqué piece so that it aligns 
with the placement line.

Memo

• We recommend using thread for the cutting 

line that 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 the appliqué may be misaligned with the 
placement line. We recommend cutting 
slightly outside of the cutting line. 

• When using patterns that are vertically and 

horizontally symmetrical, use a chalk pencil 
to indicate the pattern orientation before cut-
ting it out.

• Carefully cut out the pattern on the outline 

you just sewed. Do not cut inside the cutting 
line, otherwise the appliqué fabric will not be 
caught by the appliqué stitch.

Note

• If water-soluble stabilizer is used, it is not 

necessary to remove the stabilizer material 
after sewing the appliqué outline. To reduce 
shrinkage of the pattern, we recommend 
using water-soluble stabilizer.

• Put together two layers of water-soluble sta-

bilizer, otherwise the stabilizer material may 
tear during embroidering.

Note

• Before pasting the appliqué piece down, 

make sure the appliqué piece is positioned 
correctly within the placement line.
