In the Hope (ITH) projects

In-the-hoop projects are very similar in many respects to applique embroidery designs done in the hoop. Both have a placement stitching line, a tack in line, normally followed by detailing and a satin stitch-overview. Depending on the design, there is only one set of placement and tack lines down or there may be a number of sets of them-but they are similar. From my experience in working in a shop, I'd seen many people avoid applicated and/or in-the-hoop projects just because they think they might be too difficult for them. So let's demystify some of these steps.

First, tutorials are recorded with in-the-hoop projects give you step-by-step instructions by most if not all digitizers. If you take it a step at a time that you'd be surprised how easy and fun they can. The added benefit of an in-the-hoops project is that once the from the hoop, generally it's all done. It is a quick way to get a sense of achievement attract a completed project from the hoop--great for those of you who don't have much time to sew.

In-the-hoop projects start with a "placement" sense. It really doesn't matter what color of thread that you used for the placement. The stitch placement not displayed in the finished project, because it will be covered by other stitches. It's just a sample to give you a Visual of where the material (the instructions will tell you what kind of material, i.e., tissue, save, etc.). The machine stops automatically saving you time down your material like it stops for a different color to change. That is why the digitizer made this placement line a different color-so the machine will know when to stop.

After placing the material about the placement-line, is the second step normally a stab "tack down". The down tack stitch will hold down that material in place so it does not shift. After the down tack is complete, you will want to take the hoop of the machine, but not the material from the Hoop and trim very closely to the stitching. (Again, the color of the wire doesn't matter if the color change is there so that the machine would know when to stop, so that you can crop.) Once you have cropped the material, you will obtain the hoop place back in the machine to complete the design. More often than not, you will be given instructions at some point wind a bobbin with matching wire for the Summit, as well as spindle for a satin stitch that can be seen on both sides.

Depending on the project in-the-hoops, I use a washing away stabilizer. When the machine embroidery design is ready I can throw it in the wash or use a stencil cutter give the stabilizer the satin stitch edge a clean and neat finish melt. Cracks road stabilizers tend to little pokies of stabilizer bit protruding from the satin stitching when pulled away leaving. (Tip: If this has happened to you, use of a "cover" pen match the color you used on the satin stitching and the pokies color.)

I would be a free sample Luggage Spotter project for you to try your hand at an in-the-hoops project. It only takes 2, 6 "pieces of tissue, 1 save, 6" piece, embroidery thread, and a ¼ "wide elastic headband (or shoe string) to complete the project. Full step-by-step instructions with photos are included. If you have any questions along the way, just write me and I will try to give you over the hump.

Each in-the-hoops project will have some similarities. Some will be more involved than others, but they will all have a placement line, tack, and then your final embroidery which.
