    Final Product: What You Will Create

    Preface:
    A beautiful 2 colour, single inital monogram applied onto a plain toiletries bag for a personalised touch.

    Step 2:
    Hoop 1 layer of tearaway stabilizer. Check the sizing of the embroidery design on the bag to ensure it will fit as toiletries bag vary in size. I used the smaller sized monogram design and reduced it to 80%. Then mark the center of the bag, you could also use chalk here depending on the type of fabric of your bag.

    Step 3:
    Attach the hoop to your machine, ensure your design is centered on your machine. Turn the toiletries bag inside out and position it under the needle and pin it down to the stabilizer. You can remove the hoop to help you secure it further. Again, depending on the type of material of bag you may need painters tape to help hold it in place.
