Embroidery Stitching Tool
Art. No 8800
Step 1
Use the Chacopy Tracing Paper to transfer the image onto your canvas fabric. Our fabric was cut to 12×12″. Place the Chacopy on top of the right side of the fabric. Then place the drawing on top of the Chacopy.
Unicorn outline used for this project:
*We used Wonder Clips to hold the canvas, Chacopy and drawing keep in place while we traced*
Once image is transferred fix fabric onto your embroidery hoop.
Step 2
Use the of the Embroidery Stitching Tool to properly thread your needle. Start with black floss to outline the design (use three strands of floss for this project). Begin stitching following the package instructions, also pictured below.
Use the Backstitch technique to embroider the outline of the drawing.
Keep stitches evenly spaced. The bevel of the needle should face in the direction you are stitching.
Step 3
Use a Satin stitch to fill in the drawing with colors of your choosing.
For this part, make your stitches in a zig-zag pattern, with bevel of the needle facing in the same direction as the stopper.
Step 4
Cut a 10×10″ piece of canvas fabric and draw a large circle.
*5-in-1 Sliding Gauge can be used as a compass to make a perfect circle
Use the Wonder Fuse to create a fusible circle. Fuse on the back of your project to secure the loops as shown below.
Once completed trim the excess fabric around the hoop.
Add trims, ribbons and decorative pieces of your choosing to complete your project!
