| STEP ONE:
Embroider the Waistcoat Bottom Design |
Hoop your water-soluble stabilizer (WSS)
Color 1 embroiders the placement lines for the waistcoat bottom
piece.
Place your fabric over the placement area.
|
 |
 |
|
Color 2
attaches the fabric to the hooped WSS. |
Remove hoop and trim
away the excess fabric, taking care not to snip into the WSS. Replace hoop and continue. |
 |
 |
Remove the design
from the hoop.
Trim away as much of the WSS
as possible and set aside. |
|
Color 3
embroiders the satin stitch border |
Color 4
embroiders your alignment
stitches, which mark out the zigzag
bottom edge of
the waistcoat top design. |
|
STEP TWO: Embroider the Waistcoat Top and add on the bottom piece
|
Hoop your water-soluble stabilizer (WSS)
Color 1 embroiders the placement lines for the waistcoat top design
(see red arrow right)
Place a small piece of white fabric over the shirt V-neck area in the
top middle of the design. |
 |
Remove hoop from
machine and trim
away excess shirt fabric.
Replace hoop and
continue.
Color 3
embroiders the satin stitch top
edge of the shirt neck. |
|
Color 2
attaches the shirt fabric to the WSS (see blue arrow above) |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Place the waistcoat
bottom piece that you have already done, on top of the hooped design, lining
up the zigzag alignment stitches. |
You could also turn
the hoop over and check from the back to see if the alignment stitches are
perfectly lined up. Secure in place with glue or tape to prevent shifting
out of position. |
Color 4
attaches the waistcoat bottom
to the hooped design. |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Place your waistcoat
fabric over the waistcoat placement area. Color 5 attaches the
waistcoat fabric to the hooped WSS. |
Remove hoop from
machine and trim away excess waistcoat fabric. Replace hoop and continue |
Color 6
embroiders the satin stitch border around the waistcoat as well as the two
waistcoat pockets. The last three colors finish off the design detail on the
waistcoat. |
|
 |
And there it is ...
your waistcoat bottle topper made in the hoop!
All that's left is to
trim or soak away the WSS.
Attach ribbons to neck and sides in order to tie the apron onto your bottle.
You can also add a little ribbon bow as a bowtie.
