How to stitch Boho Tee Shirts

Instructions and stitch guides are included for creating the interfacing for the neckline for each shirt.

Boho 4 Hooping and Stitching

First hooping:
1. Left embroidery design -- stitch the placement guide first on a sticky washaway stabilizer.

2. Align that vertical placement mark with the center front of your tee shirt. Eileen explains how to do it with and without the Perfect Alignment Laser

3.  Align the horizontal mark with the top edge of the ribbing on the shirt.

4. Stitch the left embellishment there.

5. Rigth Embroidery design ---- stitch the placement guide first on a sticky washaway stabilizer.

6. Align that vertical placement mark with the center front of your tee shirt. Eileen explains how to do it with and without the Perfect Alignment Laser

7.  Align the horizontal mark with the top edge of the ribbing on the shirt.

8. Stitch the right embellishment there.

9. Center design ---- stitch the placement guide first on a sticky washaway stabilizer.

10. Align that vertical placement mark with the center front of your tee shirt. Eileen explains how to do it with and without the Perfect Alignment Laser.

11. Align the horizontal mark with the top edge of the ribbing on the shirt.

12. Stitch the center embellishment there.

13. Place Fuse-so-soft interfacing glue (rough) side up on top of the embroidery you have just completed.

14. Stitch the last color of the center design: this is the v-neck opening mark.

15. Snip a line in the center of that  V shape. Snip an angle into the corners on each side.

16. This creates a triangular point, which helps you to turn the v-neck inside.

17. Cut away the excess interfacing and fabric from within the stitched V.

18.  Turn the interfacing inside, and fuse it in place.

Sleeves:

You can use the embellishments on short or long sleeves.  You'll want to open the seam for doing the embroidery.

Thread:

Use 15 weight thread for the embellishments -- these stitch up fast because they use a chunky thread!
