Materials:
- Decorative embroidery thread
- Purchased wool fleece or sweater knit scarf
- Baby Lock Press-Away Stabilizer OR
- Baby Lock Wash-Away Stabilizer (for washable fabric types)
Tools:
- Baby Lock Embroidery Machine
Steps:
-
Hoop the Baby Lock press-away or wash-away stabilizer in the hoop and lightly spray with embroidery spray adhesive.
-
Position the scarf on the hoop in the general area you want the monogram to be placed.
-
In embroidery editing mode choose a font style from the built-in lettering options. Then select the initials for the monogram.
-
Select each letter individually by adding them as if they were separate designs. This will allow you to adjust each letter individually to completely customize your monogram.
-
Select the center letter (last/sir name initial) and resize it so it is larger than the other two letters.
-
Then adjust the size and spacing of the other two letters so they fit close to the center letter as desired.
-
Note that some letters (due to the font and shape) can appear closer or father away even though they measure the same number of spaces away.
-
It is best to have the monogram letters visually appear equal distant even if the spacing is not an exact match on each side.
-
-
Once the design is complete set the design.
-
Use the Sensor pen to position the monogram on the scarf by selecting the sensor pen icon and following the prompts to place the monogram on the scarf.
-
-
Embroider the monogram using your preference of embroidery thread colors to compliment your scarf.
-
Remove the project from the hoop.
-
Trim away any excess stabilizer.
