3.   Make the first applique pass.

4.   Gently remove hoop but DO NOT unhoop design.

5.   Trim with sharp scissors up to the stitching. Do not cut through the stitches.

6.   Replace hoop. Be sure not to bump hump. Make sure it is securely in place.

7.   Make the final passes. This will give you a very neat and trim handle.

8.   Repeat the whole process again.

9.   When you have two designs completely finished remove from hoop.

10. Place wrong sides together and seam around close to the satin outline stitch using your sewing machine. You will use a straight stitch.
