Design K

1. Follow steps 1-5 for Layout A.

2. Using the Selection Tool , select the word by clicking on any letter in the word. There should be a box around the word.

3. Choose Arrange from the menu bar and drag down to Ungroup.

4. Now select the T by clicking on that letter. There should be a box only around the T. Click again on the box and a double-ended rotational arrow should appear at the upper right-hand corner of the box.

5. Position the Selection Tool point in the middle of the rotational arrow and rotate the letter.

6. Release the mouse button when the letter is in the desired rotation. Then position the letter above or below the original baseline.

7. Continue rotating and moving the remaining letters following steps 5-7. Hint: The position and rotation of the letters are up to you, but we find alternating left and right rotations creates a pleasing effect. Overlapping the letters is also a pleasing effect and can be used to fit a too-long word into your hoop.

8. Center the design by selecting the Green button .

9.Proceed to Select a Stitch and Create a Disk in this tutorial.

NOTE: When sewing overlapping pieces of appliqué, refer to Layers guidelines.
