How to Embroider - Connecting Words
 |
1)
Mark the location on the fabric where you wish to embroider the design. |
 |
2)
Position the embroidery sheet so that its reference lines are parallel to the embroidery position marks drawn on the fabric, and then draw reference lines. |
 |
3)
While keeping the reference lines on the embroidery sheet and the fabric aligned, align the two pins on the embroidery unit frame holder with the mounting bracket on the frame, and then press the frame into the embroidery unit frame holder until a click is heard. |
 |
4)
Enter the desired word in this example - "ABCDEF" is used, press the adjust key, and then the layout key. Next press the rotate key, and then press the 90 degree key to rotate the pattern. Press the return key and then press the button which assures that the location of the pattern about to be embroidered is in the correct location, then set the needle position. Press the return key and use the arrow keys to align the needle with the point where the refrence lines cross each other, and then begin embroidering. |
|
5)
Align the two pins on the embroidery unit frame holder with the mounting bracket on the frame 3, and then press the frame into the embroidery unit frame holder until a click is heard. Enter the first part of the word or as in this case "GHIJK," and press the adjust key, and the layout key. Next check the area to assure the design is in proper place and then set the needle position. |
 |
6)
Press the return key, and use the arrow keys to align the needle with the end of the embroidered word or in this case "ABCDEF," and then finish embroidering.

Setting Up Fabric in the Embroidery Hoop
 |
1)
Use a chalk marker or disappearing marking pen to mark the location on the fabric where you wish to embroider the pattern. |
 |
2) Place the plastic embroidery grid sheet over the
inner frame, align the reference lines on the sheet with the marks on the fabric. |
 |
3)
While keeping the triangles on the inner and outer frames aligned, clamp on the outer frame and securely tighten the screw. |
 |
4)
Remove the plastic embroidery grid sheet. |
The extra-large (multi-position) embroidery frame is useful for embroidering designs on large surfaces. Embroidering a large word on a sweatshirt, would be an example where this type of hoop would be useful.

I can not believe I am writing this. Where did this year go!!!
Christmas is upon us and everybody is scrambling for gift ideas. A great idea for Christmas is to embroider kitchen towels for Christmas. I have very contemporary tastes but at Christmas I love to put out things that have Christmas on them. I have things from years ago that come out every Christmas and I remember who gave them to me. So make a set of Christmas towels for that friend or buy a premade apron (available at any craft store) and embroider Christmas designs on it. Make both for that special friend. Schon Christmas designs are great for this and they are very inexpensive so buy one today and get busy.
