Why Our Large Applique Designs Are Perfect for Jacket Backs
Have you ever looked at the back of a plain jacket and thought…
“That would look AMAZING with embroidery on it.”
And then immediately thought…
“How on earth would I hoop that properly?”
You are not alone
Hooping jackets can be tricky:
• Bulky seams
• Thick fabric
• Awkward positioning
• And that horrible moment when you realise it’s slightly crooked
That’s exactly why our Large Applique designs are PERFECT for jacket backs.
Larger Than Your Hoop – And That’s the Magic
Our Large Applique designs are stitched in multiple hoopings, allowing you to create a finished design MUCH larger than your hoop.
The sections are joined in the hoop as you stitch!
And create one large statement applique.
Then — and this is the important part — you attach it to your jacket afterwards.
No garment hooping required.
Stitch First. Position Perfectly. Attach With Confidence.

Instead of wrestling your jacket into the hoop, you:
You can literally “audition” the design.
Only when you’re happy do you stitch it in place.
