Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

When embroidering or sewing vinyl, I always use a ball point needle

Step 1:

Gather the materials and read through the instructions before beginning. Have a copy of the color sequence on hand to refer to.

Step 2:

Either in your embroidery software program or on the machine, upload the design. I have reduced the size to 80%. Copy and paste the design and create a mirror image copy of the design, then turn one design 180 degrees. Position the designs in opposite corners of hoop.

Step 3:

Stitch out the designs. Remove the hoop from the machine and tearaway the stabilizer

Step 4:

Now cut the vinyl down the center to give you a pair of the design. Lay one on top of the other piece, aligning the designs, then pin in place.

Step 5:

For this step, I have free hand drawn this shape. I simply drew around the main design, then at the top, I have added a 6cm tab. Then on your sewing machine, sew around this shape through both layers of vinyl, again using a ball point needle.
