How to Applique Machine Embroidery

[@monisnax1313]

I know I'm about 8 years late..lol... but this video was AWESOME! Very detailed, informative, and straight to the point. Thank you! 😊

[@dorothylmccurdy4007]

This is an excellent video for the beginner. I've tried to find out what the thread colors meant when stitching out a design. You are the first person to really address the placement stitch vs, the tack down stitch. I guess most persons assume that we already know what they are for. Thanks so much. You've made my life a lot easier.

[@NoNette62]

Great instructions. I especially appreciate that the close up shots are in focus. Very cute design.

[@zaidarosario2281]

[@ashleybarkan5221]

Thank you Apex for all your videos and great free designs for your followers!!

[@emelton77]

This was more helpful that I anticipated! I like how there was a brief description of scissors and stabilizers, I wasn't expecting that. Thanks for the useful info and I can't wait to watch more!!

[@mirandagoodwin2063]

Stabilizer is always most confusing for me! Thanks for the tips!

[@janetmckinney2487]

what stabilizer did you cover up the stitches with.

[@tonyastokley5165]

Oh this is the best true from start to finish I’ve seen ! Ty very much ! There are so many blogging about daily life that is fine but it seems you just get vague how tos ! Ty hon

[@southernladywithmanyhats7428]

Thank you! I want to do some of this. It looks like so much fun. I bought some designs several years back and have never used them. Got sick and haven't messed with my machine for years up until here recently and having to relearn how to use it. Got a friend that works at a monogram store so she will help me since they also do this. But when she and I get together I want to teach HER to sew and not spend our time for me on applique. So I am subscribing to your channel so I will get updates and can learn. My daughter has a little purse she's been wanting me to applique some tulips on since forever now and that would be a NICE surprise for her this coming spring. :D Thank you for what you're doing here!!!!

[@angeladelrie6993]

I have been reluctant to applique, but this video has been an encouragement for me to step out and try it. Thank you.

[@lizmartinez15]

I love your video! didn't even know about iron on stabilizer! thank you, love all the details without being boring lol

[@dianez9211]

Great video! Very helpful. I will be trying my hand at appliqué embroidery very soon. So glad I was directed to your video before I attempted this.

[@ApexEmbroidery]

TY Hope to make many more

[@TheAuntiesteph]

Thank you for setting up instructional videos! So helpful!

[@barbaraboddie3045]

May I ask a question? How do you clean your embroidery needles when they get the stabilizer glue on them? I have looked and looked but can find no answer. I have really enjoyed your video. I have been very hesitant to do any kind of applique. You taught it in a simplified manner so that it is easy to understand. Thank you!

[@Quiltypickles68]

i always need to be reminded on stabilizers. Thanks for a great video

[@crcpeach]

Thanks for the awesome video. I've been embroidering for a few months but was a bit reluctant to try applique - Gonna get my supplies out and try this now!

[@lindalober4353]

Thanks for sharing, love the big hoops your machine has. My bernina is an older model and has only two. so stabilizer should always extend the hoop or just be put on the back of the project. does each machine have a tacking process? What is this cover fabric on the back of the shirt and where do you purchase?

[@militarymom0412]

That was very informative...I never knew there was a backing you put on the back of the design.....cant wait to try the free design..it will be my first applique.

[@Sandwil69]

Used these instructions to do a shirt over the weekend

[@maryanncrocker3750]

EXCELLENT tutorial!!!! Thank you!

[@danabyers7447]

Loved the video! Very helpful! Now I wish I had tried appliqué before now!

[@MOpalka218]

been afraid to tackle an applique. Thanks for this!

[@krystalmouton5982]

Starting basic.. what brand or kind of thread do you use? I feel mine is always too thin or too thick. Im trying to teach myself again, after storing my machine for a year. :)

[@handylady9463]

This is great tutorial. I am new to machine embroidery. It was extremely helpful.

[@sheilapatterson9976]

great tips! I never heard of cover up before

[@thumbsupthumbsdown6696]

Best video for embroidering on t-shirts! I now dare give it a try! Thank you :)

[@KimberlysJourney]

Do you ever attach heating bond to the back of the fabric before stitching?

[@tamilovelace1106]

I am new to applique; thank you so much for this video!

[@leekay9050]

Love to learn since I'm new and love all the designs you have.

I thought was super along with any of your videos. Thanks so much.

[@susantortorich3643]

what was the iron on that you applied to the back of the finished embroidery ?

[@maryashley7500]

Please post a video on how to machine applique a t-shirt using the float method. Also, your video doesn't mention using Heat & Bond light or Steam a Seam on the fabric pieces that will be appliqued onto the garment on top of the placement stitch. Thanks for your help.

[@kathyafuller5295]

Also, what type of stabilizer would I use to applique cotton fabric onto burlap fabric? Your video was awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@ladyjr4]

Love your designs and helpful videos!

[@lindacross168]

This was a great tutorial, very clear and easy to understand.. I have a question. I used an Iron On stablizer on the front of my design but how so I get it off? I am having a horrible time, help me please.

[@ApexEmbroidery]

Linda Cross Try to reheat the stablizer and take off

[@mariangies]

Thanks for the video. the iron on stabilizer you used on this t-shirt is it soft, medium, heavy, and the sheet you added at the end so the skin doesn't touch the rough edges what is it called and where can I find these products? also, what type of thread did you use? I'm new to embroidery, so I'm clueless. can you please put links to where we can buy these products? tia.

[@vaishalikedare5319]

Does it wash away with the water?

[@cindygeiger6670]

[@PeggyDieu]

Thank you for this video....it's very helpful!

[@aosenenko100]

Thanks Kristin! I enjoyed your video. My question is about the appliqué designs. Do you know of any place what can custom design an appliqué? I'm looking for interesting patterns that I can draw digitally that can be turned to appliqué. Thank you!

[@NinaJune12]

thanks for the videos. Love your designs!

[@ApexEmbroidery]

Nina Platt thank you

[@ericapittman6341]

what's the best embroidery machine to use?

[@chrism5547]

I have used the exact technique you used. I always wash the t-shirt and applique fabric before I make a t-shirt. My problem is that once I wash it, it never looks the same. I have tried using wonder under or heat n bond on the applique fabric before I use it. After the tack down stitch and trimming, I iron the fabric with a small craft iron before the final stitching and it still wrinkles after washing. Do you have any other suggestions?

[@plyntennis]

Love Apex designs!!

[@conniew04]

Great video.. thanks, what kind of stablizer would you use for burlap?

[@gingermcnally6596]

Great Videos. Thanks.

[@Cm-ec5ui]

Very easy. Thank you so much. I feel I can do this now!

[@stephanieslater6068]

What brand stabilizers do you use and where do you purchase them?

[@ApexEmbroidery]

Stephanie Slater I use embstore brand

[@lindamatos3159]

Stephanie Slater

[@mandyajel]

hello, can i ask what the cover stitch fabric is called? i've been looking everywhere and cant seem to find anything on it (im new to applique and only just recently brought an embroidery machine).

[@jerryroberts6358]

Great videos!

[@cherylcook2761]

Great Tut!!

[@connieturner8464]

Love all your designs! Thanks so much!

[@jodee1981]

Great info. Loved it

[@kitjoslyn3859]

This was informative and a great way to show how some designs let you use up small scraps, but I would never recommend trimming after the tack down stitches without taking the hoop off the machine. It is too easy to bump push or pull the fabric and offset the alignment of the design.

[@40kwalker]

I like the idea of covering the design on the back when finished. In this video, what is the product you ironed on the back?

[@shamamoore3779]

Kara Walker I had the same question, I wonder if it's the iron on stabilizer, she called it cover stitch.

[@40kwalker]

I found some at Joann's called Cover a Stitch or Stabilizer. It is an iron on. I have used it a couple of times and like it.

[@wajikhan3121]

Kara Walker nice job

[@BetheBossofYou]

Great information.

[@Marnie1869]

want to do this but could not fibd embroidery on apex

[@divm8559]

Is cover stitch the name of the brand? What it the generic name of this product so that I can find local alternatives in my country. Thank you.

[@1TotalWellness]

Great step by step thank you for sharing!

[@mariangies]

Thank you so much. This is so cute. where can I find this design but with a K?
