Welcome to the CUTE family Robin. It is just a form of applique in the hoop - you will enjoy it - just follow the instructions and have fun learning a new technique.
Welcome! I see you got your answer so I will just welcome you! Cute can get very addicting!

Hi Robin, yes I did - I've done the ballerina on a bath towel and it was perfect and also easy to do. Instruction that came with the design was easy to follow. Just love the Smart Needle designs. Eleen
