We tested TWO Different APPLIQUÉ METHODS to See Which One Works Best

Do you want to learn how to create embroidered appliqué designs like a pro? In this episode of Ricoma Crafts, we’ll teach you the two main methods for appliqué embroidering with appliqué material. Using our Marquee 2001 commercial embroidery machine, we’ll demonstrate each method by embroidering a design on a sweatshirt using plaid fabric. Along the way, we’ll show you what materials you’ll need, how to digitize an appliqué design properly, and how our new fully responsive 10.1-inch touchscreen control panel makes embroidering with appliqué easier. By the end of the video, you'll have all the information you need to decide which method is best for you and your next embroidery project.

[@RicomaCrafts]

My pleasure!

[@stephrg9091]

Great tutorial- thanks for sharing 🎉

[@RicomaCrafts]

You’re welcome 😊

[@sewlove]

I will teach myself how to use my cutting machine so not to have to cut each letter. That was so hard to watch. I get this is how it was done before cutting machines.

[@RicomaCrafts]

It's a lot more time efficient to use the machine instead of individually cutting the letters. Let us know how it goes!

[@BroderieMachine]

Nice tips, thx for sharing :)

[@RicomaCrafts]

[@justseamsrightlindawoodsbr2914]

Thank you, Jerrica! We are so happy you enjoyed it (:

[@zehcnas1008]

Loved the video! Music was too loud. But great help thanks.

[@RicomaCrafts]

Thank you for letting us know!

[@misteekgeisha5879]

can you make a applique for beginners using a em1010 and explain what a tak down stitch etc from star to finish thank you

[@RicomaCrafts]

Great suggestion! We can definitely do an Appliqué Episode with our EM 1010. And the answer is easy: The Tack-down Stitches are the threads that sew your appliqué fabric onto the garment or other item you are embroidering.

[@misteekgeisha5879]

@@RicomaCrafts thank you for that . Also if i may ask if you could please show exactly what function buttons i need slower on the videos sorry to ask so much of you. Thank you .

[@siriustsm]

[@RicomaCrafts]

[@misteekgeisha5879]

[@RicomaCrafts]

Great! We do, too!

[@mariselamk5870]

hola me encantaria que tambien hicieran los videos en español por favor

[@RicomaCrafts]

A nosotros tambien!!! Gracias por vernos y dejar mensajes en nuestros comentarios! 🩷

[@karlawood3778]

I like the second method better, unless you use a cutting machine

[@RicomaCrafts]

Agreed! Thank you for watching, Karla (:

[@propeur37]

the traditional method seems better

[@RicomaCrafts]

Interesting! Can you give us a brief explanation as to why you chose this option?

[@propeur37]

the less step the better and quality wasn't an issue.

[@wendyryan3023]

That is not reverse applique. Much easier ways to do what you are trying to show.

[@RicomaCrafts]

Thanks, we appreciate your feedback!
