Applique
 

I want to machine appliqué something to a cotton tee shirt. Do I use a tear away stabilizer under the shirt? Some other way to do? Thanks.

they have a soft stay in stabilizer I would use under the shirt

I just use newspaper underneath to stabilize when I applique.

I have been using a light weight Peillon to stabilize my applique as of late.

Here is a free tutorial at bernina site that breaks down embroidering on knits. It is something you read, not a video.
