I have never done an applique with the Amayas. I have Dakota Collectible set and was wondering exactly how appliquing is done using one of those designs. I guess I understand the tracing stitch it does, but how does everyone get the material pre cut to place when the machine pauses???? Is it possible to make a design in Dakota Collectibles an applique if is not already an applique??/ these are probably stupid questions, but I was just wondering!
