My first finished try in stitching applique using an embroidery machine. Actually, my very first try at stitching applique by hand or machine... I have not done any projects with applique before.

Thanks for looking.

Well... I struggle a bit to see, so I cheated.

I am stitching the outlines of my applique pieces on a piece of tearaway, then I cut the tearaway into pattern pieces, then I cut my applique pieces using the tearaway pattern pieces, and only then do I start the actual stitching.

As each applique piece's outlines are stitched, I glue the correct sized pre-cut piece in place, and continue from there. I actually design my applique ITH, with the pattern of the pieces as part 1 of the design. You can use it or leave it, as you wish.

A nice work-around for me. (and I don't have to worry about cutting close to a stitched line!)

A very pretty design and lovely colours.
Digitising appliqué is fun in Embird and so easy. Don't you love the "Split appliqué into layers" tool. Quite often I do both a filled design as well as an appliqué - hardly any extra work and two different takes on my drawing or the clipart.
I, too, use the outlines as patterns for the pieces, however, I usually stitch and clip before the final satin anyway. For ITH patchwork I love the pattern pieces.

Thank you.
I will have to investigate that tool; at the moment I do everything as if I am creating a normal non-applique design. Thanks for the tip!

(I made a spelling error in my previous comment, and could not edit it without some words stringing together, so I just started over by deleting it.)

The words sometimes string together until you refresh the page. Then they return to normal spacing.
