Step #2 – Sewing Obtain backing material that has an adhesive coating on one side. This can be purchased in large rolls from sources such as John Solomon (www.johnsolomon.com) Hoop the backing with the adhesive side up. Be sure to choose a hoop of adequate size, especially if you are sewing multiple patches. Lightly score the protective paper coating and remove it to expose the adhesive portion. (Remove only the portion of coating inside the hoop, not outside) Program your machine to stop after it sews each outline running stitch by inputting the same needle number for both the outline running stitch and the first color of the logo. Start the machine and it should sew the first outline running stitch and then stop. Place the blank patch down onto the adhesive backing using the outline running stitch as a template. Start the machine and it should sew the entire logo and then move to the location for the next patch, if sewing multiple patches. Once again, it should sew an outline running stitch and then stop, allowing you to place the second patch. This process continues until you have sewn all of the patches that you setup for that hoop. When finished, simply unhoop and tear off the backing. You will notice that the outline running stitch does not attach itself to the patch, it just goes with the excess backing. BLANK PATCHES can be bought from Ensign Emblem 1-800-521-0575, www.ensignemblem.com www.hsi.us care@hsi.us 210
