Step 1:
Trace each appliqué piece onto the paper side of your
fusible webbing. Leave approximately
1/2" between each pattern piece.
Step 2:
Cut
out the traced pieces . Be sure to leave
approximately 1/4" of extra webbing around each piece.
Step 3:
Position the fusible webbing pattern pieces onto the wrong
side of your appliqué fabric. Use your
iron to fuse the pieces. Do not use
steam.
Step 4:
Cut out the pieces along the traced lines.
Step 5:
Remove the paper backing and position the appliqué pieces
onto your project, with the webbing side down.
Layer the pieces as directed by the placement guide.
Step 6:
Place a pressing cloth over the appliqué design and fuse with
an iron, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 7:
Cut a piece of stabilizer that is approximately 1.5" -
2" bigger than the appliqué design.
Position the stabilizer on the wrong side of your project fabric,
underneath the appliqué. Use pins or
baste the stabilizer in into position.
Step 8:
Set your machine to a zigzag stitch and stitch around the
appliqué. You can use coordinating
thread or contrasting thread, depending on the project and the look you wish to
achieve. You can also change the thread
colour for each appliqué piece, as desired.
Step 9:
Remove pins or basting stitches from stabilizer and trim
stabilizer as close to stitching as possible without cutting through the
project fabric.
Step 10:
If applicable, apply finishing touches to project - this could
include sewing on extra trims and notions, or drawing on accents with a fabric
marker.
