Thank you Lisa and Diane for your comment, I truly appreciate it. Diane, there are many different ways to do machine embroidery applique. I have several sets as well as instructions in the embroidery tutorial section on my website that show how to do it. Multi pieced appliques within one design are certainly possible and I have several free samples that use this technique in the applique collections on my website. The process differs with everyone but there are many that share the same method of three steps: applique position, applique tackdown and the actual applique. Hope this helps. HUGS, Sadia

I really like the wall hanging and am interested in the applique method. I recently purchased a BabyLock Ellure embroidery machine and Palette ver 7 software. Unfortunately, my local dealer has no classes scheduled in the next few months, so I’m on my own to learn Palette. I found some instruction on using the applique wizard but, unless I’m wrong, one has to create the pieces using the shape tools. I’ve been trying to use my own linework and haven’t figured out a manual way of accomplishing what applique wizard does. Specifically, I’m wanting to create multi-piece appliques in one design. Is that possible to do in Palette? If so, can you identify the steps in that process? Thanks for whatever help you can provide.
