Learn how to create your own charming coasters with unique designs that reflect your personal style or seasonal themes! These little creations can be made entirely in the hoop with embroidered embellishments. We will guide you through the step-by-step process.

Supplies:

·         Small pieces of Fabric; cotton, felt, twill, or linen

·         Embroidery thread

·         Tear-away stabilizer

·         Temporary spray adhesive

·         Scissors

·         Design Files

Step 01 - Check your files

ITH coaster design comes in multiple files, including embroidery files and dieline files marked as "DL" or Cut Files marked as “CF”. Dielines are used for cutting the fabric to the accurate shape and size.

Step 02 – Hoop with Stabilizer

Secure a piece of water-soluble stabilizer in your embroidery hoop firmly.

Step 03 – Time to mark your Area

Embroider the design by starting with the dieline (or outline stitch), which marks the area on the stabilizer where the fabric piece will be positioned.

Step 04 - Time to Hoop your Fabric

Once the dieline has been sewn, take the hoop out of the machine without unhooping the stabilizer. Apply temporary adhesive to the wrong/back side of the fabric piece, then smoothly place it onto the stabilizer within the sewn dieline.

Step 05 –Tackdown your fabric

Next, put the hoop back onto the machine and stitch the tackdown for the fabric piece. This will secure the fabric piece in place for the rest of the design.

Step 06 – Embroidery Your Design

Once the front fabric piece is secured in place, proceed to embroider all the details.

Step 07 – Cut your Extra Fabric

After finishing the embroidery, you may take out of the hoop and cut your extra Fabric.
