Normally, creating appliqué with leather can be a challenge, especially for a new embroiderer. Leather requires a stronger needle and typically increases thread breaks and other issues.
RNK Distributing Commercial recently came out with a new product, Appli-Stitch® Leather that is easy to use and will not require you to change out your needle as you would with a regular piece of leather.
Appli-Stitch Leather is designed to be used with your favorite Appli-Stitch design collection or digitized appliqué designs created in Floriani Total Control Commercial embroidery software using the Appli-Stitch tool.
Simply lay a square in the embroidery hoop. Sew your appliqué design border as usual. When it’s finished, simply tear away the excess fabric and your appliqué is done. Appli-Stitch® eliminates the need for cutting the applique out or using adhesive spray to hold it in place.
Appli-Stitch® Leather is ideal for creating authentic-looking sports balls, cowboy boots, emblems, or animal shapes and creates dramatic effects with lettering. This versatile fabric comes in two colors: tan and brown. It’s sold individually in sheets measuring 15.5 inches by 18 inches and 15.5 inches by 36 inches.
