Velvet Sparkles Applique

Thankyou for downloading this freebie from Divine Dezigns.

YOU WILL NEED
Velvet Fabric, Sequins, Satin Material to sew the design on, backing, suitable glue.

This design is made using the applique embroidery method.  
Following is a step by step guide for doing the applique.

1.	Hoop your backing and satin fabric as the base to start each design.
2.	Follow the guideline for fabric and thread colors for each design square.
3.	Sew the Applique Material outline when applicable.  This will show you where to place your fabric. 
4.	Remove hoop from machine and using a glue with a very fine nosel, place little dabs of glue 
        onto the satin material inside the applique material position outline. Then cut velvet fabric 
        slightly larger then the Applique Material outline and place velvet over Applique Material 
        outline sticking down carefully. Place hoop back on machine.
5.	Sew Applique Position outline and then remove hoop again. 
6.	Carefully trim the material away from around the outline using fine scissors.  
	Trim as close to the outline as you can but careful not to cut the stitching.  Place hoop back on machine.
7.	Continue to embroidery thread colors as specified. 


HINTS FOR SEWING WITH VELVET
When choosing your velvet fabrics, try to get one that doesn't have a deep pile and doesn't fray too much 
when cut, however all velvets will have some fluff that comes off them after trimming.  Be careful when gluing
the velvet fabric in place for appliqueing that you don't get any adhesive glue on the satin material outside
the applique material outline.  It is okay to get the glue on the area where the velvet will be appliqued
down but not anywhere else on the satin fabric.  This way you can easily brush the velvet fluff off 
when you are finished sewing and none of it will glue to your satin fabric.

When sewing the applique Position and Outline guidelines choose a color thread that is contrasting to the velvet. 
This way it is easy to see when you trim the fabric. If you choose one the same color, it just disappears into 
the velvet pile and is hard to see.

Some of designs include stamens with the flowers that are perfect for placing the sequins on top of.
