In the Hoop Machine Embroidery Decorative Clothespins
Hi Friends,
I am so ready for spring. I mean, I’m seriously ready for green grass, flowers and warmer weather. I had a lot of fun making these in-the-hoop machine embroidery decorative clothespin cozies from Embroidery Library.
The directions are simple to follow. I hooped heavy weight stabilizer and floated felt on top. At the final stitch out, the hoop is removed from the embroidery machine (but don’t unhoop the stabilizer) and a second piece of felt is placed on the bottom side of the hoop. How do you get the felt to stay on the bottom side of the hoop you ask?
I have an ingenious product at my embroidery machine. It is called blue painters tape! Just put a little piece of tape on each corner of the felt, out of the way of the stitching, and it holds it in place perfectly.
Finally, insert a clothespin and glue a magnet to the clothespin and it is good to go.
Keeps my recipes handy on the side of my refrigerator. Makes me smile as I think of spring. BTW…Tulips are my all time favorite flower.
Blessings and happy embroidering,
Love,
Nancy
