Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

By simply hooping satin ribbon, a label can be made for your projects. Tearaway stabilizer was used for the project and the machine slowed down for stitching. If the ribbon puckers during stitching, try using a temporary embroidery spray adhesive to adhere the ribbon to the stabilizer before hooping or even using an adhesive tearaway stabilizer (though this would make the ribbon label stiffer).

Step 1:

Gather the materials and read through the instructions before beginning. Single or double sided satin ribbon may be used for this project.

Step 2:

Use a gridded board to accurately align the ribbon in the hoop with one layer of tearaway stabilizer.

Step 3:

Here is a tip: use the gridded mat and mark the hoop with additional alignment marks to aid in hooping the ribbon straight in the hoop.

Step 4:

Load the design “Made by Mom” in the machine and rotate the design if needed to fit within the hoop area. Carefully do check to be sure the embroidery will be centered on the ribbon.

Step 5:

If needed, adjust the design in the hoop to be sure the design will align evenly to the edges of the ribbon.

Step 6:

Stitch the design following the color sequence. If the design starts to draw up the ribbon, slow down the machine (or use one of the other methods described in the preface to hoop the ribbon).

Step 7:

After the design finishes stitching, remove it from the hoop and remove the excess stabilizer.

Step 8:

From the back side, press the ribbon with a low heat iron. Fold back the ends of the ribbon and press.

Step 9:

Trim off any excess ribbon from the ends and pin the label into position on the project which in this case is a jacket neck edge.

Step 10:

Hand-stitch the ribbon in place on both sides.

Step 11:

Congratulations on creating an embroidered label for your project. This project stitches very fast, so do several in one embroidery session so you will have them to attach to your projects as they are finished.
