So here's your hug are you running a fever? Do we need a temp check? I would also do a "sniff sniff" test are you bathing? Any swelling? Any bloating, any pains if so on a scale from 1-10 how would you rate the pain? Are you eating right? What did you eat yesterday? How much sleep are you getting? Any trouble moving around? Any dizzyness? Ok your good let's sit & chat for awhile! How's the wife & kids? It is raining here again I feel I live in Seattle not PA! How's your weather? Do you pass out candy on Halloween? Were'e the candy bowl? LOL There is a reason to my method of madness! Sure hope this finds you feeling better than yesterday! Smile! Hug's to Kathy & You!

I downloaded a applique embroidery design and started the embroidery, it said applique so I added the applique piece and the darn embroidery machine stitch over it...LOL

So can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Remember I'm new this embroidery stuff and have no ideal, I went to youtube to find help but all they show is how to do it not how to set your machine to applique....

I would read the the manuel but, being Dyslexic, I have problems understanding the directions. Show me and I can do it. I need pictures...LOL

Now back to youtube to look at some more help video's...LOL

Then you place the fabric and the next stitching holds it down. Then you trim the added fabric close to the stitching line. The next stitching is a satin stitch that puts a nice edge on the applique. At least that is how my applique patterns usually work. Hope this helps.

This was my first time paper piecing. I found a pattern for a block I liked on-line, then based my design on it. I had the perfect snowflake fabric for the borders and ended up paper piecing the little nine-patch blocks in the corners, as well, because I couldn't figure out the measurements for cutting the little bitty squares! lol
