Did anyone ever do a design that while you were stitching it, it said "applique" and then proceeded to do a fill stitch? Threw me for a loop, started over, good thing I buy extra fabric!

Sounds like a digitizer error. Can you contact the digitizer?

Yes, I have had this happen. It usually does it when the color is like a skin color, light tan or peach. I just thought it was the way my machine read that color. I have a Brother ULT2001. It only happens occasionally....I watch the color sequences on the computer as it is sewing if I have any question...

I've had this several times, I have a Brother too. a color is called applique but it is a normal stitch to embroider.So I neglect the word applique and embroider the adviced color.

Yep, what a disappointment! Never used the design again! I did finish it out and didn't like what I saw. If it was to be appliqued why did it cover the whole thing and why did it applique over stuff already embroidered? The whole design was a mess! Very disappointing. Why would they name a color appilque?? How silly!

I've never had this to happen to me and hopefully I won't as I might not be lucky enough to remember this post...thanks

What machine and software do you have? Applique designs just show an outline in color, where filled designs show all the pieces. Perhaps a preview will help you next time.
