Split applique designs are very popular right now and they are so versatile that you can create everything from a garden flag to personalized towels and shirts. Add text with a program like Embrilliance, create it with Quick Font Lettering, or use fonts built into your machine. Best yet, some of these designs are only 99 cents during the Sew Frenzy sale!

Here are some ideas of what you can do with split applique designs:

For the Beach/Pool

Imagine everybody having beach/pool towels with this cute dolphin and their names on them. Check out Deborah Jones'  video on how to stitch towels without pulling the loops.

For the Birthday Girl or Boy


Just add the name to the cupcake. This would also be adorable for kitchen towels.

For the Yard



Garden flags are another popular trend right now. Stitch the word "Welcome" on this pineapple and it makes a great housewarming gift.



Or, change the design with the seasons and use it as a door banner.



Even holiday greetings work well.

Wedding Decor and Personalized Items


Personalize anything with a split applique monogram. Monograms. Not sure about the rules of monograms? Check out this blog.

Terrific Totes



How adorable would this design be stitched on a beach tote?



And this teddy would be perfect for a baby blanket. (Check out this blog on embroidering on fleece.)

Lots of possibilities for fantastic make-ahead gifts!
