Appliqué instructions:
 
* Hoop the background fabric and appropriate stabilizer.

* Color #1:  
Stitches the first outline stitch on background fabric = this is the placement line for the Appliqué fabric.

* Remove the hoop from the machine without removing or moving the fabric.  
Place the Appliqué fabric on top the outline so that it is covered.  
Spray adhesive can be applied to keep the fabric in place.

* Color #2 (can be the same color thread as #1):
Put the hoop back in the machine and stitch the second outline stitch which is the tacking line.

* Remove the hoop from the machine again without removing or moving the fabric.  
Carefully trim the excess of the Appliqué fabric as close to the outline stitch as possible.   
Be very careful not to move the hooped background fabric or to cut into it.

* Put your hoop back in the machine and stitch the remaining colors and part/s of the design. 

Optional:
* Embroidery software can be used to print a design on paper to then be used as a template for easier placement.
The template can also be used to cut the Appliqué fabric into shape prior to placement for stitching.
However, if software or a printer is not available and you need a template, then please stitch a test design first.
Cut it to shape and use it as a template.
