The Applique option is available in Pro and Pro+ product levels only. If you click "help" then "help topics" click the "index" tab and type in "applique" in the box. This will explain it and give screen shots how to do it. If you do not have the Pro or Pro+ you have to do it manually.

I am making bible bookmarks and the last step is to applique the outside border. But I want to stop the design/machine and slip a piece of fabric under the hoop before it does the applique. That way the back of the bookmark will look nice. On my test stitchouts I have had to stand by the machine and manual stop it. And then of course I had to backup etc.... Kind of a pain.
