Final Product: What You Will Create

Step 1:

Hoop tear-away stabilizer and felt. Stitch out the design up to the first single outline of the bookmark. Stitch this outline then take hoop out of the machine.

Step 2:

Cut the felt around the inside of the small frame (it will be either rectangle or oval) the trim the outside of the bookmark, being careful not to cut the stabilizer. Poke a hole through the small top circle where the tassel will be attached.

Step 3:

Cover the top of the hoop with clear vinyl, taping the edges to secure. Then place the hoop back in the machine to stitch out the tack-down (three sided single stitched frame).

Step 4:

Remove the hoop from the machine and turn it over toe trim the stabilizer out from the inside of the small picture frame. You can also trim any rough edges around the inner sides.

Step 5:

Any threads or fuzzy pieces of felt can be trimmed now.

Step 6:

Place back in the machine to stitch the picture frame.

Step 7:

Remove from the machine, turn the hoop over and measure down 1/2 inch from the top of the bookmark. This is where you will line the top edge of the clear vinyl . Tape down to secure and place in the machine to complete. (The top of the vinyl will remain open to allow you to change pictures.)

Step 8:

When the bookmark is completely sewn, take out it out of the hoop and gently tear it away from the stabilizer and the excess vinyl.

Step 9:

Open the hole at the top with tweezers or the tips of scissors.

Step 10:

Then take a tassel and push the loop through the hole, then take the tassel part and pull it through the loop as seen in the pictures.

Meet the Author: Marlene Stewart

Hi, my name is Marlene Stewart. I was born in Indiana and really have a strange career path of - secretary at a brokerage firm in Chicago. In 1972 I moved to Arkansas and became owner of a TV/VCR sales and repair, then school insurance coordinator, Realtor, bakery owner, arts & crafts, now digitize. I began teaching myself to digitize in 1992 after I purchased my first embroidery software and Brother PE150 embroidery machine since then I have upgraded software and machines. My husband is retired from the U.S. Air Force and I have a 36 year old son. My favorite part of the day is evening when my husband and I cuddle with a blanket and watch science fiction movies. I love digitizing, my husband calls it a love affair and admire the works of Thomas Kinkade.
