Embellishing the Bag with Applique & Embroidery
in this step I decided to change the embroidered letters into applique so I could add the contrasting colored felt. You might consider other fabrics such as satin, metallic, or lace for a completely different look. I will show all the steps on my Brother Dream Machine:
- Go to the embroidery screed and type in letters “TRICK”. Click the ARRAY.
- Change the word into a semicircle.
- Move the letters into the upper section of the embroidery screen. Edit the letters a little more by spreading the letters out. This will give us a little more room for the applique.
- Edit the letters a little more by spreading the letters out. This will give us a little more room for the applique.
- ADD the letters “OR”.
- ADD the letters “TREAT”. Click on ARRAY to alter the curve of the word and spread the letters out.
