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.

Quick Machine Embroidery Projects For Kids

Machine embroidery for kids is a dying art, although there are so many project possibilities they would enjoy. Part of the decline has to do with the fact that traditional embroidery is completed by hand and limited to a few designs with varying degrees of difficulty. With the increased technology advances in embroidery, machines give a broader range of design capabilities as well as faster results. Initially excited, the investment in machine embroidery seemed fun and full of possibilities with hopes of creating projects that kids would absolutely love. Over time the machine felt useless, turning knobs and touching buttons without producing any real results. If out of ideas on what to make with machine embroidery, try one of these simple projects that kids love!

Every year kids bring home new books to be covered the first day of school in most areas. As a kid, you may have used brown paper bags or Kraft paper, but the new hip fad is the expensive stretch covers that can be purchased at your local school supply store. With a little time, you can make fabric covers for all books, using fabrics that are kid-friendly. The easiest method for measuring your covers would be to fold the fabric around the book and inside the cover as one would with craft paper. Using pins, place where necessary to keep it together; Hem all edges and finish basic shape of cover so that it can easily be slipped onto books. This is a plain cover, but can be taken a step further. Using machine embroidery, books can be decorated with embroidered images and even the subject and your child's name. With subjects like math, reading, and social studies, the combinations are seemingly endless!

Children love to see their names on things, which is why it can be found all over the place, like on the walls, important work presentations, and even jeans. One of the most satisfying displays of ownership is their names on their door. Opened or closed, children know that this particular space in the house is theirs, where they can be themselves or the place where they are banished when in trouble. Using machine embroidery, you can stitch names as well as machine embroidered designs that fit their personalities for a quick project. Framing this fabric will give an extra touch, and you can hang it directly by a nail on the door or use a ribbon attached to the back for flair. Using different shapes and colors of frames for each child will give unique variety. For a more challenging project, use small hand-size frames to design one machine embroidery design letter in each and hang in different ways.

While lamination is a great option to preserve family memories such as letters or family portraits, using machine embroidery design gives the flexibility to be more involved in the process. First, trace the image onto freezer paper, then iron until the paper is attached to fabric. Use an embroidery machine to embroider over lines, being as careful as you would with any other project, changing colors as necessary. Or you can choose suitable embroidery designs for kids from a large online store. After you have completed these steps, remove your freezer paper to reveal your memory! This item can now be framed or if they are notes, stories, or letters, you can bind them for a special gift!
