Remove the appliqué material from the 
embroidery frame, and then carefully cut

remove all of the cutting line thread.

After embroidering is finished, remove the 
stabilizer material from the embroidery 
frame.
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 pen to indicate 
the pattern orientation before cutting 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 stabilizer,
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.
Memo
• The outline is sewn using satin stitching.
• Some glue may get onto the presser foot, needle,
and needle plate at this time. Finish embroidering 
the appliqué pattern, and then clean off the glue.
