For those of you who have a heat press, I use this technique:
I hoop Floriani?s Heat n Stay, fusible side up.
I make a design with only the appliqué outlines, shortening the stitch
length to 1mm.
Stitch the appliqué outlines without thread on the hooped Heat n Stay.
Apply the Heat n Stay to the wrong side of the fabric (adhesive side down,
of course.) 285 degrees for 5 seconds.
Using a good light source, cut out the fabric following the stitched
outline.
Voila! You now have appliqué pieces that the correct orientation and pretty
close to a perfect fit!
I do use 505 adhesive spray on the back of the appliqué pieces, but I find
if I spray them well in advance of stitching, I don?t get any of the gummy
residue. If you stitch them down while they are still wet, ugh!

My process for small jobs is similar--however, I actually stitch the outline
on the applique fabric itself. Then, I cut out the fabric and it's a
perfect fit for the area it needs to be in.

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!
