Use Print Appliqués to print the outline shapes of the appliqués in the quilt which can be used as templates, or as a guide to assembly. In the Print Guide, numbers printed in each appliqué are placed inside the image of that appliqué or outside with a line pointing from the number into the outline. If two appliqués are identical in shape they are given the same number, and printed once. Recognition of same shapes ignores rotation, but not mirroring, skewing or resizing. Appliqué can be applied to a quilt using one of two techniques:
normal: no seam allowance needed.
turned-edge appliqué: add seam allowance.
Use this method to print appliqué shapes that were created using the appliqué drawing tools.
Tip To print blocks that include appliqué as part of the block, see Print patchwork block construction.
