Steps To Complete
|
A template, or printout, of a design is an excellent tool to help with placement. Print off template of the design using an embroidery software. If you do not have embroidery software, Wilcom TrueSizer is a free program to use. |
|
Unfold the towel. Cut a piece of cutaway stabilizer that is larger than the hoop, and spray one side with temporary adhesive. Smooth it onto the back side of the towel behind where the embroidery will be sewing. |
|
Extend the axis lines using a ruler and air-erase pen to make it easier to hoop accurately. Then hoop the towel and stabilizer together tightly, lining up the drawn axis lines with the marks on the hoop. |
|
Load the embroidery file onto the machine, and secure the hoop in place. Then move the needle directly over the marked center point on the towel. |
|
Once the embroidery has finished sewing, unhoop the towel, and trim away the excess stabilizer from around the design. |
|
When you download the in-the-hoop towel topper design, you will find multiple files. Some are the embroidery files, and the others are dieline files marked with the letters "DL". Dielines are used to cut the fabric to the correct shape and size. Open and print each dieline file using an embroidery software. If you do not have an embroidery software, Wilcom TrueSizer is a free program to use. |
|
First spray one side of a piece of cutaway stabilizer with temporary adhesive. Smooth the stabilizer onto the wrong side of the fabric piece. |
