Here are some more information for Satin Applique:
To create a unique custom applique quilt, all you need is a simple design.
If the traditional appliques just don't excite you, make your own custom applique design. It's as easy as flipping through a child's coloring book or searching through clip art.
Custom appliqué quilts are perfect gifts for celebrating the birth of a baby. When the mom-to-be picks a less popular nursery theme, it can be hard to find a coordinating gift. That will make your custom appliqué quilt extra special!
One woman chose a "Cat in the Hat" theme for her newborn's room. She wanted something different and knew she'd have to custom sew and accessorize just about everything in the room.
She turned to an old coloring book for inspiration. The lines in children's coloring books are generally simple, especially in coloring books for younger aged children.
For the crib quilt, she enlarged a coloring book page of the cat's hat. Using the enlargement for a pattern, she appliquéd red stripes onto the hat which she had cut from white fabric.
Using iron-on adhesive, she put the large, bright red and white striped hat in the center of her pale teal-colored crib quilt top and stitched around it using a tight satin stitch. She added coordinating prints around the sides for the border and without much effort at all, had a custom appliqué quilt. She used the same techniques to add characters from the famous Dr. Seuss story to bumper pads and to create a wall hanging for the nursery, too.
It's easy to use the same procedure for creating a custom appliqué from clip art. Select your theme, then start your art search. The important thing is to look for simple lines.
Don't forget that you can manipulate some clip art. Once you open a clip art file, see if you can select the image then choose "ungroup" from the edit command. If it will allow you to ungroup, you can make simple changes.
For example, if you want a custom applique of Santa riding a reinderr, but the one you've found has ornaments hanging from the reindeer's antlers, ungroupling will probably let you delete those ornaments from the design. Don't forget to save your art once you've completed your editing!
Many people like to assemble the custom appliqué separately, then finish by stitching it to their quilt top or quilt block. Others, however, like to assemble piece by piece onto the quilt top or block by basting, then finishing the stitches with either an appliqué stitch, zig-zag or satin stitch.
Fonts may also be used for custom applique designs. It's really easy to create a custom appliqué quilt with a name or favorite hobby ("Cheer!" and "Play Ball!" are two that come to mind). Simply type the words and make the letters the size you want. You may have to print the letters individually rather than on one sheet if you want them to be substantially large.
You can even make custom appliqués for your favorite fraternity or sorority member by using a font like Symbols for the custom applique pattern.
Once you've printed the letters, they are your pattern for your custom appliqué design. Play around with the positioning once you get them cut out. Have fun and create interest by overlapping the letters in some places.
You must observe copyright laws when using other media to help you design custom appliqué patterns. Most art is under law in which if used for personal use only, there is no copyright infringement. If you try to sell your custom appliqué projects using the already published art, you are likely in violation of copyright law.
The same goes for fonts. There are many websites that allow viewers to download and use free fonts, but most of those include stipulations that the use of the fonts must be for personal - not commercial - use only.

In The Hoop (ITH) Projects
In-the-hoop projects are very similar in many ways to appliqué embroidery designs done in the hoop. Both have a placement stitching line, a tack down line, followed normally by detailing and a satin stitch outline. Depending upon the design, there may be only one set of placement and tack down lines or there may be a few sets of them—but they are similar. From my experience working in a store, I've seen many people avoid appliqué and/or in-the-hoop projects simply because they think they might be too difficult for them. So let's demystify some of those steps.
First, tutorials are included with in-the-hoop projects giving you step-by-step instructions by most if not all digitizers. If you take it one step at a time you'd be surprised how simple and fun they can be. The added benefit of an in-the-hoop project is that once it's out of the hoop, generally it's all done. It's a quick way to get a feeling of accomplishment pulling a finished project out of the hoop--great for those of you who don't have a lot of time to sew.
In-the-hoop projects start off with a "placement" stitch. It really doesn't matter what color of thread you use for the placement stitch. The placement stitch won't show in the completed project because it will be covered by other stitches. It's just a stitch to give you a visual of where to place the material (the instructions will tell you what type of material to place down, i.e., fabric, batting, etc.). The machine will automatically stop allowing you time to put your material down just like it stops for any other color change. That's why the digitizer made this placement line a different color—so the machine will know when to stop.
After placing the material over the placement line, the second step is normally a "tack down" stitch. The tack down stitch will hold down that material in place so it doesn't shift. After the tack down is complete, you'll want to take the hoop out of the machine but not the material out of the hoop and trim very closely to the stitching. (Again, the color of the thread doesn't matter as the color change is there so that the machine would know when to stop so you can trim.) Once you've trimmed the material, you'll place the hoop back into the machine to complete the design. More often than not, you'll be given instructions at some point to wind a bobbin with matching thread for the top as well as bobbin for a satin stitch which can be seen on both sides.
Depending upon the in-the-hoop project, I like to use a wash away stabilizer. When the machine embroidery design is complete I can either throw it in the wash or use a stencil cutter to melt away the stabilizer giving the satin stitch edge a clean and tidy finish. Tear away stabilizers have a tendency to leave little pokies of stabilizer bits sticking out from the satin stitching when pulled away. (Tip: If this has happened to you, use a "cover up" pen matching the color you used on the satin stitching and color the pokies.)
I've included a free sample Luggage Spotter project for you to try your hand at an in-the-hoop project. It only takes 2, 6" pieces of fabric, 1, 6" piece of batting, embroidery thread, and an ¼" wide elastic head band (or shoe string) to complete the project. Complete step-by-step instructions with photos are included. Should you have any questions along the way, just write me and I'll try to get you past the hump.
Every in-the-hoop project will have some similarities. Some will be more involved than others but they'll all have a placement line, tack down stitches, and then your final embroidery detailing.

My hubby ordered me a Singer ses1000.?
Am I gonna be able to do appliques on it? it says it has the satin stitch option but I cant find anything that says that I can do it?
You will be far more likely to find someone who knows about your machine on a forum such as patternreview. It doesn't appear to cost anything to join and participate. I've posted a link to a topic where your machine was discussed last year.
