Are you new to the wonderful world of machine embroidery? Have you often wondered where and how to get your questions answered? In today's blog post, we have tried to compile a comprehensive post with links to resources for your specific embroidery machine. We frequently receive emails, especially in January, when many have just received a new machine, asking us questions specifically related to a certain machine.

Many applique designs have templates provided in the download. If not, there is an easy way to create a template using software. Templates are really useful if you stitch applique designs. One reason is that they allow you to create a guide for cutting out the applique piece. Pre-cutting your applique pieces saves a lot of time you would otherwise spend removing the hoop, trimming excess applique fabric, and re-applying the hoop. All you need to do is add some temporary spray adhesive or glue stick to the back, finger-press it in place, and continue stitching.

Take you applique to the next level – make it freestanding. Sounds difficult? It’s really easy and super adorable!
