Our "yarn" designs have stops in place allowing you to stitch a section at a time. 

The first steps of this design are placement and tackdown steps for the applique fabric.

The next steps of the design stitch the yarn in sections in a bean stitch for extra hold.  The machine will stop at each change in color allowing you more control and to place each yarn section at a time.  I like to use a little bit of spray adhesive on my yarn before placing it to help keep it in place.  Others have suggested using some temporary tape to help hold the yarn in place.

The larger the design, the chunkier the yarn you can use.  If you stitch a smaller yarn design (5X7 or smaller) do not use super chunky yarn.
