How To: Make an Eyeglass Case "All in the Hoop"

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)

1. Batting = 1 x (5" x 7")
2. Fabric Front = 1 x (5" x 7")

****************************

3. Lining = 1 x (5" x 7")

***************************

4. Contrast fabric = 1 x (5" x 7")
5. Batting = 1 x (5" x 7")
6. 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 1^st 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!
