If you have applique sissors it helps quite a bit when you are cutting the 
excess fabric off around the tackdown.

  Not stupid questions.

  If  I am doing just a few shirts, I let the machine stitch the outline 
placement stitch.  I then cut a piece of fabric that will cover it plus a 
little extra.  Let the machine do the tackdown and stop the machine.  I then 
trim the extra fabric away, put back on machine and let it stitch the satin 
stitch.

  If you are doing lots of shirts, I hoop a piece of fabric and I use spray 
adhesive (make sure to use far away from the machine) on a piece of cardstock.  
Stick the cardstock to the fabric and just stitch (you don't even need to use 
thread) the outline stitch of the applique.  Cut or punch this template out 
from the cardstock and this is your template for the actual size and shape of 
fabric you need.

  Hope that all makes sense.

  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!

  Thanks!
