Newbie Question

Hello! I am new to embroidery, but always wanted to stitch out designs for my children and grandchildren.



So I purchased a couple of designs to use on my embroidery machine. The problem is, I probably didn't know what I was doing. Along with my ignorance I do have Bernina Artista Editor software, which is all I'll probably ever need.



My initial project is to be a combination of designs; one of them is a star appliqué design. Well I don't want to include the appliqué fabric. The design has come in two files -- one is the outline to stitch and cut the appliqué out, and the other is the file that has the tack and border satin stitching to go around the appliqué.



My question is: Can I use the satin stitching design alone and just stitch it out, or must I do an appliqué?



TIA for any advice you may have, as I am very lost on this one point.
