Teen Picks – Applique or Badges

by Rhonda

These can be done as applique alone or as Badges.

Materials:

• applique material
• heavy material (for badges)
• tear-away stabilizer
• threads to match material
• washable glue stick or your choice of adhesive

If making Badges, the bobbin thread should match the outer satin stitch.
The top line stitch over the satin stitch outline is just to secure the threads for badges. This is done in the same color, I made it a different color only to give you the option of stitching it or leaving it out.

Basic Instructions:

Badges: follow as for regular applique except stitch the badge on the stabilizer instead of garment or fabric block.

Color #1 can be pre-stitched on paper that is tapped to bottom of hoop so that you can use it as a template.

I prefer to just stitch on material and cut away from the placement line.
