I have had this white fleece sitting around for awhile….
Until now I have been very intimidated by my embroidery machine. I had used it once for a small project. It is just such a new skill to me that I have put it on the back burner. I have finally decided to dive into it and try it!
I did some reading about stabilizers and I selected a cut away stabilizer for this project because the fleece material is so thick.
I put the stabilizer and fabric into my embroidery hoop (which took some muscle).
I purchased a design on embroidery designs and hooked that up to my machine!
Set everything up and away it went! The whole automatic sewing process still amazes me!
Ta da! I now have an awesomely embroidered zip-up fleece! I think this will be a perfect jacket to wear on the boat!
Happy Refashioning!!!
Great job for your first project — couple of suggestions. Use a sticky stabilizer so you don’t have to put it in the hoop and using a topper will keep the stitches from sinking into the fleece.
