[amayausers] Re: Die Cut Lettering

Another Idea for making appliqué patterns for pieces, is to put a piece of
thin cardboard (a file folder works) or pattern grid plastic form Joann
fabric and then stitch the outline stitch (with or without thread - you may
have to disable your bobbin thread sensor to do it without).  Then you have
a "follow the dots" pattern you can cut and use as a template.

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!!
