Wanna know how I do it? I print a template of the design, cut out the inside of the "1", and slide it over the fabric until I find the perfect spot. I trace the fabric with my water-soluble pin, and then do my best to line it up with the placement line that my machine stitches out on the shirt. Takes a little extra effort than just slapping down the fabric, but I think it's important with prints like this!
Math teacher turn SAHM, I received my first embroidery machine in 2007, transferring my love of fabric from quilting to machine applique. Knowing I can never repay the God-given talents I inherited from my mom nor the generosity of my mother-in-law, I choose to pay it forward. In my free time when I'm not stitching, you can find me blogging away, candidly sharing all the details of my recent projects to assist those new to the craft, inspire fellow embroiderers, and promote the fabulous digitizers that make it all possible.

Great cut of fabric -- you really maximized the bugs within the space! I looks adorable.
