July 20, 2019
All In The Hoop Machine Embroidery Projects are Fun, Easy and Now Sewing is required. Lets get started...

Fabric needed:
(listed in order of use)
- Batting = 1 x (5" x 7")
- Fabric Front = 1 x (5" x 7")
****************************
- Lining = 1 x (5" x 7")
***************************
- Contrast fabric = 1 x (5" x 7")
- Batting = 1 x (5" x 7")
- Fabric Back = 1 x (5" x 7")
Stabilizer:
Hoop Cut-Away Stabilizer for this project.
Embroidery Steps:
Step 1.
- Start by hooping your stabilizer.
- Stitch out the 1st color stop.
- Place 1 x layer of BATTING+FABRIC on top of the OUTLINE.
- Use embroidery adhesive spray to keep the fabric in place while stitching.

Step 2.
- Stitch the next color stop.
- The fabric/batting will now be secured in the hoop.


Step 3 through 10:
- The Design will stitch next.
- Follow the color change sheet included in your download.

Step 11.
- LINING - with adhesive spray add a layer of fabric to the back of the hoop, then stitch next COLOR STOP, where the lining will be secured.
- After the LINING is stitched, remove the hoop, cut away excess lining (from the back) and excess fabric/batting (from the front).
- Place hoop back for next COLOR STOP.



Step 12.
- This is a running stitch simply to indicate where a satin outline will stitch next.

Step 13. A Satin Outline will cover the INNER section.

Step 14.
- Add FABRIC+BATTING+FABRIC to the back of the hoop. (In other words, the batting will be sandwiched between the 2 layers of fabric.)
- The next COLOR STOP will secure the FABRIC+BATTING+FABRIC.
- After the fabric is stitched, remove the hoop, cut away excess FABRIC+BATTING+FABRIC and place hoop back for the FINAL SATIN OUTLINE.
- For the last Satin Outline: Match your Bobbin-Thread to your Top-Thread for a professional Finish.




Step 15. FINAL SATIN OUTLINE will stitch.
- Remove design from hoop.
- Cut away excess stabilizer.
- Cut away the stabilizer between the satin outline in the center and the outside satin outline. (Be careful not to cut through the fabric.)
*** And your all in the hoop project is complete!


All the best with your project!
Happy stitching!
