This is for all newbies who may not have done much applique.

If you use a fusible which has a glue side and use it as directed on the packet, then iron your design on to stick the material on which you have traced the design, you will find that your fabrics donīt move around. There is steam a seam 2 or Misty fuse both work well and it also stops your fabric from fraying whilst your working

To get a nice clear view when you are stitching use the foot with the see through plastic on it and line up your needle to the outside edge of your applique. When you come to a point or the inside of the heart, decrease your stitch length.

Hope that helps
