I've been embroidering for several years but will be trying out applique for the VERY FIRST TIME today, so when this video popped up on my alerts, I literally squealed with joy! 😄 I don't know why, but applique has always intimidated me! Anyhoo, I have a Cricut, so I would love to see the SVG tute! Thanks in advance!
This video is PHENOMENAL. I always learn so many good embroidery habits when I watch your tutorials! Thanks for the in depth, specific steps...I should have watched your video BEFORE I tried this. Also, I had that same machine before my Happy Japan. It was a great machine, and enjoyable to use. But I had forgotten how cumbersome it was to babysit a sweatshirt 😅
Thank you for this very informative video. Am looking forward to trying my first applique sweatshirt. You mentioned SVG, ability to cut letters first. Could you direct me to where I could learn this technique as I have access to a Brother Scan & Cut. Appreciate the assistance!
I find it easier to mark the horizontal and vertical lines crossing in the middle on my garment and mark a box of the design. Then I do a basting box on my hooped stabilizer and align the corner marks on my garment with the basting box on the stabilizer. I then sew the basting box again attaching the garment to the stabilizer that is hooped. I have only hooped one project in several decades of embroidering. Fortunately the method I use has been successful for me. Maybe others can be successful using the same method as I do and save a lot of time by not hooping. I like the tip about making holes in the appliqué fabric and marking the garment.
the first time I tried to do applique it was time consuming, so I remembered my wife had bought a cricut machine a few years before and I used it to cut the fabrics and it was a game changer.
Once you get the hoop on the machine, it really helps to pull the sleeves inside out. I need to make this for my daughter. She wants her children's names on the sleeve. Not sure how that would be done on this type of machine.
interesting concept. instead of doing most of these steps, i'd precut the letters first, and just enough out the outside of the actual letters. then, after the first step, which is to embryoid the letters, then i'd spray these finished letters, then put my cut letters, spray on them too, and put them on top and do the last step. isn't what is for the spray to make sure stays on place? i like the finish, you did great.
Design output looks good, but its complexity requires expertise to avoid shifting on single-needle machine. Needs specialized handling. Utilize a multi-needle machine (single head) such as Tajima, Ricoma, or Barudan for easier processing.
You are a legend it cant be any clearer than this thank you
Thank you! I have been terrified to try an applique. You have given me confidence!
You've got this! 😊
Thanks for showing ALL the hard work that goes into beautiful applique work, especially on flatbed machines. 😊

Thank you for this video on applique . The tip is amazing . Yes it would be nice to see a precut letter video .

I am new to embroidering and appliqué. thank you for sharing. this came out amazing!!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for your support :)
Love the design.
I sometimes use a really sharp and good quality quick-unpick to cut off the fabric. I find it quite effective and not difficult to use.

@@rey1708 how on earth did you get it to line up properly?
Thank you John for a great video. I love applique. That's one of my favorite features in machine embroidery.💖💜
A LOT of WORK!!! Looks terrific.
Love your tutorials!! So easy to follow and great tips along the way!!
Can you use a different application fabric for each letter in this design?
Will you create the SVG video?
Excellent!
this is when a
multineedle come in handy
What type of tape do you use on the appliqué to hold it down?
Once you get the hoop on the machine, it really helps to pull the sleeves inside out. I need to make this for my daughter. She wants her children's names on the sleeve. Not sure how that would be done on this type of machine.
Thank you for a wonder teaching video. I am in the process of starting this very design.
love it thank you
What does the back of the design look like after it has been cut away - is it only closely cut around or cut in between individual letters?
Good video thanks looks good
Looks great but holy-cow sure requires a lot of fussy time intensive steps.
@@LanceMcGrew Yes, send it to someone who asks you to embroider a shirt so they know how much you care to put in all that effort!

Wouldn't this be easier on a multi needle.
