Embroidery
|
All files are embroidered in the same way. Prepare the threads.
Hoop a layer of watersoluble mesh, craft felt and fabric. Tighten the hoop. |
|
Upload the files into the machine. Start embroidering. Change threads as needed. Work till the last color.
|
|
Before the very last color, take the hoop from the machine and working slowly, cut away first the background fabric around the design, then the felt. Take care not to cut through the stitches and the stabilizer.
|
|
Return the hoop to the machine and start it. The last color will finish the raw edge.
Cut away the excess stabilizer and rinse the remainder.
Leave to air dry. Press if needed. You can do it with a iron or simply place the coasters under a flat heavy item. |
|
| The fabric is part of the design. It can be of any color. On the picture below you can see how diffently the same design looks on black and white backgrounds. |
|
| Here are some more pictures of the coasters. |
