Kmart 43285402 Embroidery Hoop Kit

Kit Includes

• 1 x printed fabric
• 5 x embroidery threads

• 1 x 16cm bamboo hoop

Before You Begin

• Prepare the fabric on the embroidery hoop by separating the 2 circles and laying the fabric over the inner one. Place the larger circle over the top and press down to secure the fabric. Adjust the fabric position to ensure the design is centred. Tighten the screw and gently pull the fabric edges to ensure it’s taut. Do not pre wash the fabric.
• Embroidery thread is made up of 6 strands of thread twisted together. We recommend using 2 strands of thread cut into 1 meter lengths to be more manageable.
• To separate the threads, pinch the end of the thread in between your thumb and forefinger to spread out the strands. Take 2 strands in your other hand and pinch the remaining thread in between your thumb and forefinger and gently pull the 2 strands of thread up. Continue to slowly pull until entirely separated. The thread will gather, but it should not t angle.
• Begin your embroidery by following the guide image for colour and stitch reference. It may be helpful to practice stitch types before beginning. Tie o knot to start and end your thread.
• To complete your hoop, tum it over and trim the excess fabric from the edges. Alternatively, trim the fabric and fold it over the inner port of the back side of the hoop. Use hot glue to secure the fabric.
