5 Tips For Success

Always remember to advance to the first stitch of a new color to prevent the embroidery foot from traveling over fabric layers.
Use temporary adhesive to secure fabrics to the stabilizer.
Use the slowest embroidery machine speed on areas with thicker layers or heavy embroidery like face details.
Use test fabric for your first run so that you can create with confidence!
Beginners: stitch one hoop size smaller than your actual hoop size to reduce anxiety on your first creation.
