When attached to denim, the appliqué pattern really stands out. Animal and fruit appliqués can be used as children's toys. ■ Creating an Appliqué Piece As an example, the following pattern will be used to create an appliqué piece. Note • Finish editing the pattern before selecting the appliqué setting. If the pattern is edited after selecting the appliqué setting, the appliqué stitching and pattern may become misaligned. • Since an outline is added, the pattern for an appliqué piece (when the appliqué setting is selected) will be larger than the original pattern. First, adjust the size and position of the pattern as shown below. Note • Felt or denim fabrics are recommended to make the appliqué piece. Depending on the pattern and fabric used, lighter weight fabrics may cause the stitching to appear smaller. • For best results, be sure to use stabilizer material for embroidering. • Select a frame that matches the pattern size. Frame options are displayed on the LCD screen. • When making appliqué pieces, do not use the border embroidery frame. Depending on the pattern density and fabric used, shrinkage of the stitching may occur. a Embroidering area b Approx. 1 cm c Pattern size 12
