Steps To Complete
Sue or Fred stuffie designs have four files. |
Spray the backside of the front piece dieline with temporary spray adhesive. Smooth it onto the felt. |
Cut out the shape. Remove the paper. |
Repeat this process for the other dieline pieces. |
Now that the fabric pieces are cut to the proper shape and size, it's time to embroider the design. |
Attach the hoop to the machine and load the full embroidery file (not the dieline files). |
Spray the back of the front fabric piece with a quick shot of adhesive. |
Reattach the hoop back onto the machine and continue with the design. |
The inside elements will sew next. |
Spray the backside of the hat fabric piece with temporary adhesive and place it inside the dieline. |
Attach the hoop back onto the machine and continue with the design. A running stitch tack down will sew next. |
Then, the inside elements of the hat will sew. |
If you would like to add a ribbon hanger, cut a piece of ribbon to about 8" long. |
Turn the hoop over and spray just the edges of the backside of the back fabric piece with temporary adhesive. |
Both sides of the stuffie will be seen. For the remaining steps, wind a bobbin with the same thread used in the needle. |
Attach the hoop back onto the machine and continue with the design. |
On the color change sheet, look for the note that says "finishing seams." |
Remove the hoop from the machine. |
Fill the stuffie with polyester fiberfill through the opening at the bottom. |
Hand-stitch the opening closed. Sew along the original tackdown seam. |
These quilting and embroidery illustrations come to life in these in-the-hoop stuffies. |
