| Embroidery: |
With a chalk pencil, draw a rectangle measuring 15" x 9" on the black piece of fabric.
Select threads. Upload the embroidery files into the machine.
Mark the position of the embroidery in the drawn rectangle. We embroidered the files 5 times.
Stabilize the fabric, hoop it tightly and embroider the designs one by one.
Press the stitch-out, trim it to 15" x 9" rectangle. |
