Standard applique is one thing. Even separate applique designs in multiple areas isn't too bad. But adding three layers of applique fabric? It's really easier than it looks and get the design for only 80 cents for a limited time!

This project was first featured in Volume 106 of Designs in Machine Embroidery magazine. I used the Purple Applique Flower Design from BunnyCup Embroidery and added it to a pre-purchased placemat.

Opening the design in Embrilliance shows color stops 1-6 as the placement and tack-downs for each of the three appliques.

Left, color stop 1 shows where to place the first (bottom) applique fabric. Right, the tack-down (color stop 2).
