Steps To Complete
When you download an in-the-hoop quilt block design you will see three files. One is the embroidery file, one is the dieline file (marked with the letters DL, and one is the printable planning sheet (marked with .PDF). |
Cut around the dieline shapes leaving a bit of space around each piece. |
Spray the backside of the paper with temporary spray adhesive and smooth it onto the fabric. |
For another option, add one piece of double sided fusible web to the fabric before cutting out the shapes. |
Then, add the paper dielines on top, cut out the shapes, and remove the back of the fusible web (but do not remove the dieline paper). |
Next, hoop a piece of fabric with one piece of sheer mesh cutaway stabilizer. |
Attach the hoop to the machine and load the design. |
After the dieline has sewn, remove the hoop from the machine, but do not unhoop the fabric. |
Attach the hoop back onto the machine and match the top thread to the fabric piece color. |
The dieline for the next fabric piece will sew next. |
After the fabric pieces have sewn, a cutting line will sew last. |
When the design has finished, unhoop the fabric. |
Hoop the fabric and attach the hoop to the machine. |
