Will just leave a flower for you all - I see Shrilene has given you advise - Hgus Yvonne
Well I see you recieved an answer from Shirlene. She knows much about this, so follow her advice and you can not go wrong. H&*
Joann, it depends on the designer and the design. But usually they have instructions included with the design.
1. You will have a stitching line - that you place your material or tulle on top of - then you stitch - take the hoop out and cut around the material or tulle - then place the hoop back into the machine and finish stitching.
2. You may be doing several layers - of the design seperately - then you finish up - but putting them all together in a stack and stitching a final stitch to sew them together.
So you see - it depends on the design. Have you purchase one - that you want to know how to create? Give us a name or the designer - perhaps we can assist you better - knowing that.
Good luck and happy stitching - I love 3D Designs.
