This IS an embroidery question! I have a little design made and still in my 4x4 hoop. Is there some quick and easy way to somehow now make this an applique onto an already finished quilt? Do I have to unhoop and rehoop it to the quilt? Could I spray it on with adhesive? It won't matter if the outline of the applique frame shows on the back on this quilt. I just keep thinking there must be a way, but my fried brain is not cooperating! Thanks! Jan

Jan, I would unhoop it and then get you some HB (wonderunder) and iron it on. then you could use a whip stitch to make it look like you hand stitch it there.

I had forgotten about wonderunder and I do have some.... Thanks
What a great name 'wonderunder' it called bondaweb in the UK. Not half as exotic
LOL! It does sound like it belongs in the womens area of the department store!

I'd sure love to do it on the machine - my hand stitching isn't so beautiful anymore LOL

You could pin or baste it down, then applique it on.

Have you got a simple design of a satin stich circle or other fitting shape? Stitch that on your (still hooped) design. Cut it out and stitch that on your quilt - having the neat edge may make it easier to machine stitch the patch to the quilt.

That might work....
