Cutwork 2 Butterfly, large

Our design sample is shown with a background. Cream and black areas are not filled with stitches. This design uses Cutwork technique. A PDF instruction file for using the cutwork technique is included in the download. Instructions are also listed below with a link for pictures.

Instructions:
Hoop your fabric tightly in the smallest possible hoop. Use a fabric that has a good stability and is not too soft. It works best, when the fabric is starched. Attach your hoop to the machine and start to embroider. After the machine has stopped, take the hoop out of the machine. Do not unhoop the fabric.

Lay the hoop on a flat surface, onto a cardbord. Take an Exacta-knife and cut out the holes. Do not cut too close to the seam, leave about 1 mm of fabric.

Cut a piece of heavy, water-soluble backing large enough to cover the design. Put it on the back of the hoop.

Turn the hoop again to the frontside and pin the Water-soluble backing securely to the hooped fabric. Then attach the hoop again to your machine and finish the embroidery.

Now you have a wonderful, clean cutwork-embroidery!
