[amayausers] Re: Die Cut Lettering

 
Another idea to make your own applique letters is to stitch only the  outline 
stitches of the letters on the applique fabric; cut them out along the  
stitch lines. Then hoop your garment, use your new appliques as you sew out 
your  
design (first outline indicates placement, second outline tacks down then satin 
 stitch). You would use adhesive spray to hold the applique on to the 
garment.  Hope this makes sense.
 
You could also stitch the outlines on a "reusable" template (i.e.  cardstock) 
to then cut out your applique fabric.

Another  suggestion for a one off,
is if you have the capability to digitize or have  someone who can for you.
just run a running stitch line inside the outline  of your lettering.
then stop the machine and don't unhoop the jacket.  carefully cut away the 
excess fabric
(this will take a while.) or stop it  after individual letters and trim it 
then sew the next letter.
anyway when  it's done restart and let the machine sew a satin stitch around 
the letters  that will conceal
the cut edges which is why you want to cut  closely.
this will work fine when you only need a one off for a photo or to  wear and 
show around.
for production this method will kill  ya!!
