4. The process

   • Firstly, get your fabric and draw on your image with a friction pen. Then iron on the bonder web to the fabric with the rough side touching the fabric. This is because the rough side is glue meaning it can stick to the fabric.Then put the embroidery ring onto the fabric. Change the foot on the sewing machine. This is soyourable to use it for free hand embroidery as the normal foot pushes the fabric along whereas the embroidery foot doesn't. If you want to colour in a section you need to go up and down to fill in the area.
