1. Place your article (properly hooped and stabilized) in your machine and stitch the first placement stitch. The purpose of this stitch is to show exactly where the design will be when finished.
2. Next, place the applique fabric on top of the placement stitches. You may wish to use some spray adhesive to help hold it in place. Let the machine proceed to the next stitch, the tack down stitch. Carefully remove the hoop from the machine, but DO NOT REMOVE the article of fabric from the hoop. Trim the edges of the fabric closely - be sure you DO NOT cut the stitches! Curved, sharp embroidery scissors work well for this.
3. Return the hoop to the machine for the satin stitch. If you see any fuzzies left behind, this means the fabric was not trimmed close enough to the stitch. Not to worry though, these can be cleaned up later. Just remember, DO NOT CUT THE STITCHES!
