New Technique! Batting Applique

Learn a new applique technique - one you won't find anywhere else! Our team of creators has developed a style of applique that incorporates two hoopings and batting to achieve a dimensional puff effect. Follow along with the project instructions below and learn how to successfully stitch this type of machine embroidery design.

Supplies


  • Light and flexible fabric (to show the puff in this demonstration we used lame) 
  • Cotton batting
  • Temporary spray adhesive (such as Gunold KK100) 
  • Embroidery thread
  • Tearaway stabilzier 
  • Cutaway stabilizer

Tools


  • Scissors

Products Used


  • Layers of Dimension Flower Bouquet (Batting Applique) (Sku: EAP82718-1)

Steps To Complete

Applique designs that include batting will always involve at least two hoopings. "Hooping A" will become "Piece A". In this hooping, all of the initial details will sew first. "Hooping B" becomes the final design and gives this applique its puff effect.

Spray the back side of your fabric with temporary spray adhesive, then smooth it onto tearaway stabilizer. For this demonstration we used lame fabric.

Hoop the stabilizer and fabric together. Make sure that everything is hooped drum tight and that there are no wrinkles.
