The guide run is the first layer to be stitched and is used to position appliqué fabric on the background material. An extra cutting line can be added if the fabric is to be trimmed in position. You can also specify a frame-out movement in order to place the appliqué patch.

To adjust guide run settings...

1Double-click the appliqué object to access object properties.

2Select a cutting method:

Option

Function

Pre-cut

No cutting line is generated. This assumes you have a pre-cut appliqué patch ready to be placed in position.

Trim-in-place

An additional cutting line is generated.

A cutting line allows trim the fabric after the cutting line has been stitched.

3Optionally, adjust Stitch length and Offset values in the Guide Run panel. A negative offset moves the guide run within the outline, a positive value moves it outside.

4Optionally, set a Frame Out after the guide run in order to place the appliqué patch. Depending on the machine you are working with – multi-head or single-head – the frame-out command must be specified as a Stop function or Color Change respectively.
