The class and I were informed that we would need to find a design from a website to embroider. I got this design from www.embroiderydesigns.com for free. I chose it because I thought it would look unique and cool in multiple colors.
Before printing I hooped a piece of fabric to make the fabric able to be stitched on from the machine and kept in place while doing so. I hooped the fabric by removing a part of the hoop from itself then placing the fabric in the middle and putting the part back. Then I had to select colors for my design which I did on the screen of the embroidery machine.
This is the design after it finished stitching into the fabric.
What I learned
I learned how to use the embroidery machine and I learned the set up involved and the difficulties that sometimes come with using the machine. I learned how to hoop fabric and I also learned how to select different colors that I want to be put on to my embroidery design on the fabric.
