Steps To Complete
|
Choose the ribbon you will use on your applique turkey. Using fabric glue or temporary spray adhesive (I used fabric glue), make loops with the ribbons. The average length of my longer ribbons was around 8" (then folded in half and adhered to the fabric, so they extend about 3 1/2" outside the applique fabric). My shorter ribbons are around 5" long. |
|
Hoop the fabric or garment to be embroidered. If you're embroidering a T-shirt, turn the shirt inside out. Spray a piece of cutaway stabilizer with temporary spray adhesive, and smooth it over the design area. |
|
Attach the hoop to the machine and embroider the design. The first thing that sews is the turkey's feet. Next, the dieline for the turkey's body will stitch. After the turkey's body dieline has sewn, stop the machine. |
|
Once the turkey's body has finished stitching, and the head dieline is stitched, spray the back of the head piece with a bit of temporary adhesive. Place the head with the ribbons attached onto the T-shirt within the outline of the dieline. Again, use masking tape to hold the ribbons out of the way. Continue embroidering the design. |
|
Once the design has finished stitching, unhoop the T-shirt and remove the masking tape. Turn the shirt inside out and trim the stabilizer. I usually leave about an inch of stabilizer around the design. |
|
Turn the shirt right-side out again, and your ribbon-tailed applique turkey is complete! |
|
Dress up your holidays with an applique ribbon-tailed turkey! T-shirts, towels, and placemats will all be bright and festive with this fun decoration. |
