Sewing Directions:
1. Trace the Owl design elements onto the fusible web
with a fabric marker. Roughly cut out the shapes.
2. Pull away the protective “waxy” part of the paper that
does not have the design on it. Place the sticky side of the
piece onto the wrong side of the fabric scrap. Make sure
you can see the design.
3. Press with an iron, but do not use steam. Cut out the
design on the drawn line. Repeat for all the Owl design
pattern pieces.
4. When all the design pieces are cut out, arrange them on
the hoodie. When placement has been determined, peel
off the remaining piece of protective waxy paper and
place on the hoodie.
5. Cover the design with the appliqué pressing sheet and fuse
in place with the iron.
NOTE: BE CAREFUL WITH THE APPLIQUÉ PRESSING SHEET,
AS IT WILL LIKELY BECOME HOT FROM PRESSING.
6. Place a piece of Aqua Magic™ stabilizer on the back of the
design.
7. To set up the machine for a Satin Stitch (for the appliqué),
replace the standard presser foot with a Satin Foot. Select
the zigzag stitch on the machine's Pattern Selector Dial,
then set the Stitch Width Dial to a medium-short setting.
The stitch length should be set to a short setting– small
enough that no fabric shows between the stitches, but not
so short that the fabric gets stuck under the presser foot.
8. Using a scrap of fabric backed with stabilizer, test the
zigzag stitch. If the stitches still seem too far apart, bring
the stitches closer together by shortening the stitch length
setting. If the stitches seem to be getting stuck under the
presser foot, make the stitches farther apart by lengthening
the stitch length setting.
9. When satisfied with the look of the Satin Stitch, sew around
the edges of the Owl design.
10. One technique that can be used to create texture is
free-motion sewing. To set up for freemotion sewing,
cover the feed dogs with the Darning Plate from the
accessory compartment. Remove the presser foot and
shank, then attach the Darning/Embroidery Foot.
11. Select a Straight Stitch and begin making circular motions
on the appliqué piece until it is completely filled in. Do
not worry if the stitches are not uniform. Cross the
thread lines and just have fun filling in the space.
Remember that once the feed dogs are covered (or lowered),
you control where the fabric goes and at what rate of
speed. Try practicing on a scrap of fabric to get more
comfortable with the motion before moving to the project.
12. Remove the excess stabilizer when finished. The
remaining stabilizer will come out the first time the
hoodie is washed.
