Hi Susan...makes sense to me...but I'm a clutz with scissors so having them
sewn out is easier to follow! LOL Also it's how they taught us in training.I had done some of the limos by sewing down a larger piece of stitchsaver, removing the hoop from the Amaya and cutting around it...but we realized we could not cut as close in some of the tight corners, and also one tug on the jacket wrong and it moved in the hoop-forget about stitching the rest of it and hitting the
outline correctly!One question...how do get it to stitch the outline without thread to transfer it
to the cardstock? Roland On Mar 5, 2008, at 4:42 PM, <suried@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
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 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!
