Hi everyone,
I need some help.I am so behind w/BOM-I am doing month 6 and never did Applique in the hoop.My (may be silly)? is-I need to put in the hoop and tiled copy paper template or only Stabilizer(16x13)and background fabric (both with horis.& vertic.lines) . Video showing whole tamplate in the hoop,but looking like it's not paper made.I am really confused with it. Thank you Galyna
You need to place a peice of stabliser in the hoop and start the stitch out on that only. This should stitch out a vertical and horizontal line the cross over of these lines marks the centre of the first stitch out. Take the hoop off the machine, align your background material with centre of the "cross" on the stabiliser which is still in the hoop (your background material should also have a peice of stabiliser on the back marked up with the alignment lines.) Return this to the machine and your next stitch out will be the placemet marks for the applique.
(You end up with two peices of stabiliser, the first hooped the second attached to the back of your fabric)
Hope this helps ?
