An in-the-hoop
patch is a great way to bring embroidery to
hard-to-hoop places. Add a
touch of your personal style to apparel,
hats, bags, and more by following these
helpful instructions.
|
Project Needs & Notes:
- 1/4 yard quilters cotton
- Tear-away stabilizer
- Temporary spray adhesive
(Gunold's KK100)
- Medium-weight (2.5 ounce) cutaway
stabilizer
- Patch glue, hot glue, or sewing machine
(for application)

Heart Patch (In-the-Hoop)
|
|
 |
Each in-the-hoop
patch design has two files. One is the full
embroidery file. The other is a dieline file
marked with the letters DL.
Open
the dieline files with embroidery software,
and print them.
If you do not have embroidery software,
Wilcom's TrueSizer is
a free program to use. |
|
|
 |
Spray a piece of cutaway stabilizer and
smooth the fabric onto it.
Spray the
back of the paper dieline and smooth it onto
the fabric and stabilizer. |
|
|
 |
|
Cut out the shape and remove the paper. |
|
|
 |
Now that the fabric piece is 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 file (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 for
the front fabric piece.
|
|
|
 |
Remove the hoop from the machine, but do not
unhoop the stabilizer.
Spray the
back of the 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 tack
down will sew next to hold the fabric in
place for the remainder of the design.
Then the inside elements and finished
edge satin will sew. |
|
|
 |
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). |
|
|
 |
Use patch glue or hot glue to add your patch
to your favorite items, or sew the patch on
with your sewing machine.
Apply an
in-the-hoop patch to apparel for a "lovely"
look! Here we added style to a pair of denim
jeans with a highlight on the back pocket. |
|
|
 |
|
Or, try
featuring the design on a jacket sleeve or
pocket to give to your favorite fashionista! |
|
|
 |
|
A little bit of hot glue or patch glue will
allow the patch to even add interest to a
pair of shoes, too!
