These are instructions on how to embroider designs from the Bargello Bookmark Set .There are 3 designs in the set, all of them are for the large hoop (5" x 7").
|
|
You will need :
- embroidery threads either polyester or rayon, we offer colors cards, but feel free to select your own colors,
- light-weight cut-away stabilizer,
- Polyester craft felt of different colors, or thin faux leather,
- either Oly Fun (multi-purpose craft material) of any color, or light-weight Lutradur, or light-weight non-woven interfacing for the lining (optional).
|
Embroidery:
|
Hoop the cut-away stabilizer, tighten the hoop.
|
|
| Place a piece of felt or faux leather over the stabilizer, baste or pin outside the embroidery field. |
|
Print out the color card. Upload the design of your choice into the machine.
Embroider the design up to the last color. |
|
Take the hoop from the machine and with a pair of sharp scissors, cut away the felt/leather around the embroidery close to the stitches, leaving margins about 1mm.
|
|
The back of the stitch-out looks fine, but in case you'd like to close it, take a piece of lining. The piece should be larger than the design, and cover with it the back of the embroidery.
|
|
Pin the lining to the back of the embroidery.
|
|
Return the hoop to the machine and finish the embroidery. Open the hoop.
Cut away the excess lining and stabilizer.

Project idea - bracelets
|
You will need:
|
- ribbon ends, 1" - 1 1/2" wide,
- bracelet/necklace closures,
- jewelry pliers and other jewelry tools depending on the accessories you use.
|
| Attach ribbon ends to the short edges of the stitch-out. |
|
Then the attach closures.
|
|
You can use other types of closures as well, such as shown below. You'll have to hand-sew them to the stitch-outs.
