How to Applique Machine Embroidery 

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

I love Apex Embroidery designs!!

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.

Very cute shirt, thank you so much , i"m new to the embroidery world and need all the help from talented people like you, blessings,

Thank you for helping all of the embroidery community by posting these helpful videos.

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

Im new to your channel. I love the way you explain every single step so straight to the point. I do appreciate this. Im staring using my machine fallowing your videos. Thank you again!🌺

Love this! Also happy to see tips on scissors to use. :)

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

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!!

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.

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.

Love all your designs! Thanks so much!

Great beginner tutorial! I will now recommend this video for everyone who asks how to start! thanks for sharing!

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

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

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!

Love your designs! Thanks!!

I am new to the embroidery world. I got my Brother Innovis 5100 in May and love it!!! Videos are so helpful. Thanks for making it so easy for beginners like me! !!

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

Love Apex designs!!

Your videos are very helpful! Thanks APEX!

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

been afraid to tackle an applique. Thanks for this!

great tips! I never heard of cover up before

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!!!!

Used these instructions to do a shirt over the weekend

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?

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

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

Good video with clear instructions.

Thanks for the help!

Great Tut!!

So cool!

The best quality!

Thanks so much for your video!

This was so helpful. Thank u!!

Very helpful especially the stabilizer info!

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.

great tutorial!

Love the video

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?

love the videos

Great videos!

Good info!

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!

Great Video!!!!

Your video was very helpful thank you!

Great information.

these videos are very helpful

Very pretty designs

This is very helpful! Thank you!

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

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. :)

Thanks for the video.

so helpful!

Very nice video..Great teacher.. Thank you😇 God bless you and your family
