This pattern includes digitized embroidery applique designs compatible with the Quiltworx Flowering Cactus. Foundation papers and applique sheets are sold separately.

The CD contains machine embroidery designs in the following formats: .art, .art60, .dst, .exp, .hus, .jef, .pcs, .pes, .shv, .vip, and .vp3.

The designs have been divided up so that they can be stitched out using a hoop with an embroidery field that is at least 145mm x 255mm (5.7” x 10”) - Flowering Cactus 4 - Hoopings OR a hoop with an embroidery field that is at least 200mm x 300mm (7.8” x 11.8”) - Flowering Cactus 2-Hoopings.

Also included on CD:
Full-sized layout included as PDF (it is “tiled” and can be taped together)

Mirror and non-mirror templates for cutting out shapes

Cutting instructions and SVG cutting files that can be used with your preferred electronic cutting machine. (There are also instructions for preparing Applique shapes using the Stitch-N-Peel Templates.)

This pattern was not designed for the type of applique where you cut away the extra fabric. The templates are the actual applique size and after cutting out the pieces, you will place the pieces within stitched-out placement lines.

HOWEVER: You CAN use the cutaway method for your applique, but you will have to repeat the placement line after you place your fabric down and before you cut your fabric away.   I do not include a second placement line or a tack down stitch in my designs.
