Hi all-

I am hoping you can share some tips with me. I decided to try out doing applique on my embroidery machine today. The design I chose stitched out great but I have stray threads. Here is what I did...


I had the machine do the first outline stitch

Then I put my fabric over that stitch

I had the machine do the stay stitch? then i trimmed my fabric as close to that as I could.

Next I let the machine zig zag then satin stitch it.

i still have strays ..... What did I do wrong? I cut as close as I could using my mini gingher scissors. Do I need special scissors or something?


Thanks Nikki
