Preface:

Begin with a purchased dress and add embroidery to complete a fast and easy project.

Step 1:

Begin with a purchased dress and add embroidery to complete a fast and easy project.

Step 2:

Press the dress using spray starch or spray sizing to add a little crispness to the fabric for ease in handling and embroidering. Cut out around the paper template. Decide on the placement for the design.

Step 3:

Hoop the skirt with one layer of poly mesh stabilizer. Load the “Baby Girl with Blocks” embroidery design on the machine. Place the hooped fabric on the machine.

Step 4:

Align needle with the center of the template. Remove the template from the fabric.

Step 5:

Place one layer of water soluble stabilizer on top of the hooped fabric. Stitch the design following the color sequence.

Step 6:

After the embroidery has finished stitching, cut away the excess stabilizer and remove the excess water soluble stabilizer.

Step 7:

Give the dress a final press. Congratulations on completing a fast and easy-to-stitch dress that any little girl would love to wear.
