Santa Claus Appliqué Project in the Hoop
| These are intructions on how to embroider the Santa
Claus Appliqué. The design shows 10 colors, but you will need
only white and black threads. Different colors are used in the design to
mark stops. Besides embroidery threads (white and black), you will also
need red, white and pink fabrics - flannel (cotton or wool) or felt (wool
or polyester) are the best. We used the design to embellish a child's fleece
scarf. |
|
| Step One: Hoop the base fabric (we used a scarf). We did not
use any stabilizers, but if your base fabric is thin, you might consider
using a layer of tear-away stabilizer. Thread the needle with white thread.
Start embroidering. The machine will embroider an outline of the face and
stop. Place a piece of pink fabric over the outline, and start the machine.
It will embroider the outline of the face again, this time over the pink
fabric. With a pair of sharp scissors cut away the excess fabric as close
to the outline as possible. |
|
| Step Two: Continue to use white thread. Return the hoop into
the machine. The machine will make an outline for the hat's pom-pom and
the beard and will stop.
Place a piece of white fabric over the pom-pom outline, and start the
machine. After it makes the outline over the pom-pom part and stops, cut
away the excess fabric.
Place a piece of fabric over the outline of the beard, start the machine.
After it makes the beard outline and stops, cut away the excess fabric.
Return the hoop into the machine and start embroidering. The machine
will embroider the beard. |
|
| Step Three: Thread the needle with a black thread. Return the
hoop into the machine. The machine will make an outline of the nose and
hat and will stop.
Place a piece of red fabric over the outline of the nose. Start the
machine. After it makes the nose outline and stops, cut away the excess
fabric.
Place a piece of red fabric over the outline of the hat. Start the machine.
After it makes the hat's outline and stops, cut away the excess fabric. |
|
| Step Four: Return the hoop into the machine and finish the embroidery.
Continue to use the black thread. |
|
| You can comb a felt beard a little bit to make it fluffy. |
|
|
The appliqué is ready. Enjoy!
