Custom Christmas Towels | Applique Embroidery with Avancé 1501C 2020
Learn how to applique a towel:
First hoop the Towel by placing the bottom of the hoop on a flat surface, laying the backing on top and then the towel.
Check your spacing top and bottom, left and right to make sure you are positioning your design correctly before snapping on the top of the Allied hoop. [This will work with any hoop brand]
Make sure your towel is “drum tight” after hooping. Then load onto the machine.

Run the design
After color #1 is sewn out there should be a programmed stop between color changes. Make sure your design is specifically digitized for applique!
Once the design stops after color #1 it’s time to apply the twill applique material.
Applying the Applique Material
Cut a piece of twill to the size of the design and hoop - make sure it covers the color #1 outline sewout with plenty of room to spare!
Apply spray adhesive to prevent shifting during sew out
Fit the twill onto the towel, sticky side down
Hit start (round button) to start stitching again
The machine should stop again after color #2 tacks down the twill material
Cutting the Twill
Use the Applique Scissors to cut around the tack down stitch. Get as close as possible without cutting through those existing stitches.
Note: Leave the hoop on the machine while you do this if you can!
Once the applique is trimmed, start the machine again.
Finishing the Applique
Unhoop the towel
Use standard scissors to trim the cutaway backing
Use the fine point curved scissors to trim the applique where necessary
