Applique Dogs Too 10 Applique Information
You will see some colors that may be repeat colors, or many color changes in applique designs.
It is important that you do not change the order to attempt to reduce the color changes. Many of the color changes are not actually color changes, rather are placement lines or cutting lines. These are critical to the structure and success of your applique design.
You will use the color of the applique stitch or a light plain color for placementand cutting lines rather than the color that shows up on your machine, software or that listed below.
Where the needle below says placement line - these stitches will stich out a template on your fabric to show you where to place your applique fabric (ie on top of your other fabric). Please use the applique stitch color or a light color for these lines.
After sewing out a placement line, place your applique fabric on top of your other fabric. It is suggested that you use a light spray adhesive to attach the two fabrics together so that the applique fabric does not slip when the cutting line stitches out.
Where the needle below says cutting line, this is a the line around which to cut your applique fabric. It is recommended that you use a pair of nail scissors which will cut close to the cutting line. These can be purchased from embroidery shops or from pharmacies. Trim as close to the cutting line as you can without cutting the stitches.
If there is no notation against the color below, the color noted should be used as it is an object in the design. Please note that from time to time, an object color will show inbetween steps in the applique - this is necessary detail that will show on your applique fabric.
