Applique and Embroidery!

In blowing the dust off the embroidery machine, one of the designs I wanted to try was an applique. It has been at least a couple minutes since I did an applique.

While I was playing around, I posted some fun videos online and a dear cousin of mine started messaging asking me how to applique and how to set up for embroidery.

I remembered back when I was learning how to use the embroidery on my machine … a mere 3 years AFTER I received my machine for Christmas …. I lived on Youtube and websites to figure out what to do when.

THERE WAS A LOT TO IT!!

There’s hoops and stabilizers, tear away, wash away, cut away, different threads, different bobbins …. wwwwhhheewwww!!! It was A LOT!

So I made her (and anyone trying to figure out how to embroider / applique on the Brother lb6800 machine) a video! Its nothing great, but its got details that I wish someone would have told me when I was first learning.
