Using your Scan and Cut CM900 select the appliqué designs you require. This design incorporates three different images. These are found in your machine’s catalogue and are numbered AR-B008 (lollipop), AR-B010 (large ice cream), and AR-B012 (double scoop ice cream). Apply your double sided bondaweb to the fabric that you are using to cut out your appliqué pieces and use you Scan and Cut to cut them out. Peel the backing paper off ready to apply the shapes to the fabric. Use a ruler and fabric pen to mark out the positions for each appliqué, starting with marking the centre of the white panel. Make sure you leave a 5cm gap between each appliqué to leave space for the embroidered text. Lay out your fabric shapes onto the white interfaced panel. Once you are happy with their positioning, fix them in place with the iron. Thread up your machine with embroidery sewing threads in colours of your choice. Set your sewing stitch to a zigzag, stitch length 0.3, stitch width 3.5. Stitch a narrow satin stitch around all of the edges of each of the shapes, making sure to catch in the raw edges of the shapes. Take your time in doing this to ensure a smooth even stitch.
