Crafty Cut Stuffie, In-the-Hoop
|
Crafty Cut Stuffies (In-the-Hoop) |
|
 |
|
|
 |
 |
The
in-the-hoop hen design has four files.
One is the
full embroidery
file. The other three are dieline files marked
with the letters DL. Dielines are used to
cut the fabric to the right shape and size.
Open the dielines files with
embroidery software and print
them.
If you do not have embroidery software,
Wilcom's TrueSizer is
a free program to use. |
|
 |
Spray the backside of
the printed dieline for the front of the
stuffie with a small amount of temporary
adhesive.
Smooth that on top of a piece of felt or
UltraSuede. |
|
 |
|
Cut out the shape. Remove the paper. |
|
 |
Repeat this process for the back dieline and
fabric, too.
If the crafty cut
stuffie has additional fabric pieces, you'll
need stiff felt for those. Cut out and set
aside for later. |
|
 |
Some crafty cut stuffies include button
feet.
To assemble the feet, cut two
pieces of 3 1/2" cord or yarn.
Put
hot glue onto the wrong side of one of the
buttons and lay the end of the yarn onto the
glue. Extend the cord sticking out over the
button a little.
Press the wrong side
of the second button onto the yarn,
sandwiching it between the buttons. Repeat
for the other leg. |
|
 |
Now that the
fabric pieces are cut to the proper shape
and size, it's time to embroider the design.
Hoop a piece of tear-away stabilizer.
Madeira E-Zee Tear 1.5 oz. or Floriani Tearaway
Medium are good choices. Those brands are
more fibrous, less paper-like, and will tear
more cleanly. |
|
 |
Attach the hoop
to the machine and load the full embroidery
design (not the dieline files).
Use a size
11 or 75/11 sharp sewing needle, rather than
an embroidery needle. A sharp sewing needle
has a smaller, finer point than an
embroidery needle, so that will make smaller
perforations in the stabilizer.
Embroider the design. The first thing
to embroider will be a dieline or outline. This
marks the area on the stabilizer for the
front fabric piece. |
|
 |
Remove the hoop
from the machine, but do not unhoop the
stabilizer.
Spray the back of the
front fabric piece with a small amount of
temporary adhesive.
Place the fabric
right inside the sewn outline. |
|
 |
Attach the hoop
back onto the machine and continue with the
design.
A running stitch tackdown will sew next.
This holds the front fabric in place for the
remainder of the design.
Continue
embroidering the design. All of the inside
elements will be embroidered. |
|
 |
On the
color change sheet, look for the note that
says "finishing seam."
When you get to
this section, stop the machine and remove
the hoop from the machine but do not unhoop
the stabilizer.
If working with a design with
additional pieces, add
them at this time.
Instructions are below. |
|
|
 |
|
Special Steps For
Additional Pieces:
If working with stuffies with
additional pieces, tape all
of the additional fabric pieces, legs, or
ribbon to the backside of the back fabric
piece using small pieces of masking tape.
To make a hanger, cut a 7" length of
ribbon or yarn and fold it into a loop
before taping it to the backside of the back
fabric piece. |
|
|
 |
|
Finishing Steps for All Crafty Cut
Stuffie Designs:
Spray
the backside of the back fabric piece with
adhesive.
Turn the hoop over and
place the back fabric inside the shape on
the backside of the embroidery.
Tape
the ribbon, legs, etc. to the side of the hoop so that
it will not be sewn over in the remaining
steps.
|
|
 |
|
Since both sides of the
stuffie with be seen, wind a bobbin with the
same thread used in the needle. |
|
 |
Attach the hoop
back to the machine and continue
embroidering the
design.
A tack down stitch will sew
around the outer edge of the stuffie. This
binds all the layers together. |
|
 |
Once the
embroidery is finished, remove the hoop from
the machine.
Unhoop the stabilizer,
and carefully tear it away (the dieline will
be removed with the stabilizer).
Then fill the stuffie, using polyester
fiberfill, through the opening. Using needle
and thread, sew the opening closed by
stitching along the original tack down seam. |
