The supplies you will need are:
- A no-show mesh cut away stabilizer
- Water Soluble Stabilizer
- A Ball-point needle
- Pair of duck bill applique scissors
- Heat N Bond Lite
Hoop your no show mesh cutaway stabilizer .
Prepare your applique fabrics with HNBL ( Heat N bond
Lite ) will keep your applique fabrics from bubbling and wrinkling after
washing. Cut a piece of HNBL to match each applique piece but just a tad
smaller than the fabric
With your iron setting on medium, iron the HNBL onto
fabric.
Once fabric has cooled, remove the paper.
Lay your applique fabric down after stitching your
guideline. stitch your tack down and cut around the edges as close as you can
without snipping the threads. but if you do accidently snip your threads, don’t
freak out, when you adhere the HNBL, the fabric wont shift.
Now that the applique fabrics are cut out, remove your hoop
from the machine and bring it over to your ironing board, we
are going to iron the HNBL onto the shirt now
Let your shirt cool for a few seconds, then grab your water
soluble stabilizer. I am going to pin a layer of this on top now that my
applique fabrics are complete. The WSS will keep my stitches looking crisp and
flat, this is how you get those nice thick, flat satin stitches.
Put your hoop back onto your machine and finish with your
satin & decorative stitches.
Remove your hoop and peel off your wss from the top.
little tip for removing wss from little stubbirn spots, use
a clean, new pencil eraser and rub it on the wss and it will pull up.
I really hope this tutorial helps you in making GREAT
appliques.
