Difficulty: Beginner

This is a machine embroidery design not a patch. You need to transfer the files to your embroidery machine to use it.

For these types of designs it is very important to use the same color for the bobbin thread as the top thread - i.e. if you embroider the red thread - it is also necessary to use the red bobbin thread. If you do not do this, the design will not be the same on both sides.

The designs should be embroidered with water soluble stabilizer. We use Vilene water soluble stabilizer-If it’s too thin use two layers. Use a size 11 or 75/11 sharp sewing needle and 40 weight rayon or polyester thread. For my designs, I mostly use embroidery threads from Gunold - SU rayon (sulky rayon), Isacord or Brother embroidery threads.

Tip: I recommend using the hoop size that is listed in the design description. I do not recommend embroidering multiple designs in the hoop for this design. It is also necessary to have a good quality WSS for embroidering this design and to have the WSS well secured against shifting in the hoop.

Resizing or editing of the designs is not recommended and we can not guarantee the quality of the designs if you alter them in any way.

Thank you
