Steps To Complete
|
To start, wind a bobbin for each color of the design. The back of the design can be seen, so match the bobbin thread to the top thread (the thread in the needle). |
|
Hoop one piece of heavy weight water-soluble stabilizer. For this project, we are using Vilene. Hoop the stabilizer nice and tight, and then tighten the hand screw. |
|
Load the embroidery design and attach the hoop to the machine. Remember, match the bobbin thread with the top thread. Embroider the design - we recommend using a size 75/11 sharp sewing needle when stitching these designs. |
|
When the machine stops for each color, remove the hoop but do not unhoop the stabilizer. Change the bobbin to match the next color. |
|
Attach the hoop back onto the machine and continue with the design. At each color stop, match the bobbin thread to the top thread and continue with the design. |
