| Final Product: What You Will Create | |
| Preface: | | The link is to a set of eight Holiday Gift Tag designs. Purchase the set so you’ll always have the perfect gift tag. Names may be added either in embroidery software or at the machine that has that capability. It takes about 30 minutes to set up each gift tag and stitch it, so several may be done in an afternoon. |
Step 1: | Read through the instructions thoroughly before beginning and assemble all the materials needed to complete the project. |  (Click Image to Enlarge) |
Step 2: | If using embroidery software, choose the lettering style and type in the name for each line; size the lettering to fit. |  (Click Image to Enlarge) |
Step 3: | Hoop one layer of fleece with one layer of poly mesh stabilizer. For this project, several gift tags were ganged up in one large hoop. If you have a large hoop for your machine you may wish to do this, too, or each one could be stitched in a small hoop. |  (Click Image to Enlarge) |
Step 4: | Load the design on the machine. If adding lettering at the machine, do it as indicated in the machine instructions. A large hoop was chosen for this project so several designs could be stitched at once. Move the first design into position in the upper left hand corner of the hoop. |  (Click Image to Enlarge) |
Step 5: | There are several ways to load and stitch designs. It may be done all at once, or individually. To keep the colors easier to identify, I chose to upload each design individually and then stitch it. |  (Click Image to Enlarge) |
Step 6: | Stitch the design following the color sequence. You will find the designs stitch beautifully on the fleece batting. |  (Click Image to Enlarge) |
Step 7: | After the first design has finished stitching, add the next design and move it into position in the upper right-hand side of the hoop. |  (Click Image to Enlarge) |

Step 12: | Add and stitch the fourth and fifth designs and stitch them. |  (Click Image to Enlarge) |
Step 13: | After all the designs have stitched, remove the embroidery from the hoop and generally cut the tags apart. Using sharp shears, trim the excess fleece from around each tag leaving about 1/8” of fleece. Repeat until all the tags are trimmed. |  (Click Image to Enlarge) |
Step 14: | Use a hole punch and block to open up the eyelet. |  (Click Image to Enlarge) |
