The two types of top stitch applique are:
Cut-Away
Pre-Cut Patterns
Cut-Away
Multiple layers of fabric required to create the design are temporarily affixed to a single layer of fabric which will be the background. Once the pattern is transferred onto the field it is then sewn, in turn permanently attaching the layers together. The excess fabric is then cut away to reveal the design.
Pre-Cut Patterns
Fabric is cut into specific shapes and then temporarily attached to the backing. The various shapes are then sewn down onto the fabric background layer to create the final design.
