- 1). Place the cupcake applique onto the chiffon where you want to place the design. Layer a piece of stabilizer slightly larger than the applique behind the fabric.
- 2). Pin the cupcake and stabilizer to the fabric with straight pins.
- 3). Sew the applique to the fabric using the traditional running stitch or straight stitch. Leave the strings of the thread long.
- 4). Pull on the strings gently to gather the fabric around the cupcake applique into the desired shape.
- 5). Set the sewing machine to sew a zig zag stitch. Use a 1/8-inch stitch size. Sew around the outline of the cupcake with the zig zag stitch to secure the applique to the fabric.
- 6). Flip the fabric over and remove the excess stabilizer from around the applique.
