You will need fabric, water soluble mesh and embroidery threads. 40-weight embroidery polyester threads are preferred for the project.
Cotton thread is not suitable because the embroidery will be too bulky.
Rayon thread is sensitive to the chemicals in the water-soluble mesh and will not work for the project.

Please note: ALWAYS make a test stitch-out on scrap before you make a stitch-out on the real item.

Step One: Hoop 2 layers of water soluble mesh. Upload file A. Start the machine. It will embroider the outline of the design and stop.

Step Two: Place a piece of fabric over the mesh to cover the outline. You can pin the fabric to the mesh outside the embroidery area. Start the machine. It will embroider the outline of collar.

Step Three: Take the hoop from the machine. With a pair of sharp scissors cut away the fabric in the areas shown on the picture. Take care not to cut through the stabilizer and stitches.

Step Four: Return the hoop to the machine and start it. It will embroider the next outline. Take the hoop from the machine and cut out the spaces marked in red.

Step Five: Return the hoop to the machine and finish embroidering.

Step Six: Wash away the stabilizer, neatly spread on a flat surface and leave to air dry. Press.

Repeat for the second file. Attach to your garment.
