Applique Football Side Bow

The AP Football Side Bow is an applique but still has the regular stitching (white area of the baseball, orange area of the basketball, etc.  The APPLIQUE files are outlines only so you can use your own materials in those areas.

Steps
1. Remove band of your sweatshirt if doing so, by cutting in between the two seams that attach it.  You can do it either way – without the band will make it easier for your machine as well as you; preference is up to you.
2. Mark your side seam centers with embroidery/sewing chalk/pen.
3.Stitch your placement line on your embroidery machine. I HAVE TWO PLACEMENT LINES – first runs over entire design – do this only on your stabilizer so you know where entire design is.   *Rotate your design upside down so the bulk of your sweatshirt will fall in front of your machine (not in back where there is less room)
4. Hoop one of the sides or prep your float. If you have a hoop master, this will make quick work of this.
5. Load your hoop on your machine.
6. Run the trace feature to see where your design will stitch at to be sure it is lined up correctly.
7. Once lined up, stitch the tack down for first section.  
8. Using your applique scissors, remove excess.
9. Continue for each section of the applique.
10. Cut the sweatshirt up the middle of the bow & then run through for final satin stitching.
11. Repeat to other side of sweatshirt.
