I make my own templates all the time when I'm doing a onsie-twosie job. I also
use Heat-n-Bond to adhere the applique' pieces, much better for my machine than
spray adhesive. An applique' iron is also helpful and you can usually aquire
one for 40-50% off if you watch fabric store sales flyers. The whole process is
pretty easy to do........ I separate the outline stitch and send to the
machine. Then I trace the required hoop on cardstock, cut it out and tape to
the hoop from the bottom. You will not be using the inner hoop at all. I then
turn off all thread detection and pull up the thread feed lever on the needle
I'm going to use, pull the thread over so it's not contacting the roller, pull
the thread out of the needle eye, take my bobbin case out and let her roll. You
will most likely need to run the outline a few times to penetrate the card so
it's easier to cut. I have a very good and expensive little scissors that can
get into an tight places but you basically follow the holes of the outline
stitch. Hopefully this will make sense, if not you can always call one of us.

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?

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!
