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!
