Applique Fuse and Stick

• Keeps the shape tacked down so it doesn't slip while the design is stitching.
• Prevents frayed edges of the applique´.
• Bonds the applique´ to the garment preventing bubbles in large shapes.

Method 1 Cutting applique first

• Fuse Applique Fuse and Stick to the wrong side of the fabric that you will use as the applique'.
• Use a dry iron at low temperature pressing through the paper release liner.
• Hoop that fabric and stitch the first outline onto it. (this is your cutting guide)
• Unhoop and trim the fabric close to the outline stitches.
• Hoop the garment and stitch the next color which is the placement outline for the applique.
• Peel the paper liner from the applique to expose the adhesive.
• Place the applique onto the garment matching and covering the placement outline. The applique can be repositioned as necessary.
• Continue stitching the design.
  

Method 2 Totally in the hoop

• Fuse Applique Fuse and Stick to the wrong side of the fabric that you will use as the applique'.
• Use a dry iron at low temperature pressing through the paper release liner.
• Rough cut the applique fabric. There is no need to be precise.
• Hoop the garment and stitch the first outline (the placement guide)
• Peel the paper liner from the applique to expose the adhesive and place to cover the placement guide.
• Stitch the next outline to tack down the applique.
• Carefully trim with sharp curved blade scissors close to the stitching without unhooping. Havel snips work great for this.
• Continue stitching the design.
