Setup Guide

1. Preparing the Embroidery Hoop

1. Loosen the brass adjustment screw on the outer hoop.
2. Separate the inner and outer hoops.
3. Place your chosen fabric over the inner hoop.
4. Position the outer hoop over the fabric and inner hoop, pressing down firmly.
5. Tighten the brass screw until the fabric is taut like a drum. Ensure there are no wrinkles.

2. Using the Water-Soluble Embroidery Stabilizer

The kit includes two self-adhesive, water-soluble stabilizers. These are ideal for transferring designs or adding stability to delicate fabrics, especially for small areas like pockets, cuffs, and collars.

• Printing Designs: You can print your desired embroidery pattern directly onto the stabilizer using a standard printer.
• Applying: Peel off the backing paper from the stabilizer. Carefully adhere the sticky side to the area of your fabric where you wish to embroider.
• Embroidering: Embroider directly through the stabilizer and fabric. The stabilizer provides a firm surface for stitching.
• Removing: Once embroidery is complete, simply rinse the fabric under warm water. The stabilizer will dissolve completely, leaving only your stitches.

2. Threading Needles

Use the provided needle threaders to easily thread your embroidery needles. Select a needle appropriate for your thread thickness and fabric type.

3. Beginning Your Project

Once your fabric is secured in the hoop and your needle is threaded, you can begin stitching. Refer to the detailed instruction guide included in your kit for specific stitch techniques and project ideas. The thimble can be worn on your finger to protect it while pushing the needle through fabric.

Care and Maintenance

• Threads: Store embroidery threads on the provided spools or in an organized manner to prevent tangling and keep them clean.
• Hoops: After use, loosen the hoop screw to release tension on the fabric. This prevents distortion of the fabric and the hoop itself. Store hoops in a dry place.
• Needles and Tools: Keep needles in their container to prevent loss and dulling. Clean scissors and other metal tools as needed to maintain their condition.
• Fabric: If your project requires washing, ensure all water-soluble stabilizer has been completely dissolved. Follow care instructions for your specific fabric type.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Fabric is not taut in the hoop.

Solution: Ensure the fabric is evenly stretched over the inner hoop before placing the outer hoop. Tighten the brass adjustment screw firmly until the fabric is drum-tight. Adjust as needed during embroidery.

Problem: Thread tangles frequently.

Solution: Use shorter lengths of thread (around 18-24 inches) to reduce tangling. Separate the strands of embroidery floss before threading if your design calls for fewer than six strands. Ensure your needle is not too small for the thread, which can cause friction and tangles.

Problem: Difficulty threading needles.

Solution: Utilize the provided needle threaders. These tools are designed to simplify the process of passing thread through small needle eyes.
