Shawkl Designs: Lady Scouts


 Lately, I too stock of all of the initiatives which are “in progress”. Consider you me…there have been method too lots of them! That is the worth you pay when your consideration is well drawn to new issues and your mind if at all times full of recent concepts.

At current, I am busy engaged on two non-sewing initiatives for my native Quilt Guild. This Saturday, we’ve got a bunch of 29 Lady Scouts (completely different troups, completely different age teams) coming to study Hand Stitching, Embroidery, and Machine Stitching. They’re engaged on badges.

My half is the Embroidery. So, I’ve designed three completely different little concepts…because the ages vary from 6 to 18 within the group.

There can be instruction sheets with diagrams (just like the one above for Straight Stitches) so hopefully, every can end up their mission; but when not, can no less than have the directions to allow them to end at residence.

The entire embroidery designs are printed on to cloth (muslin). So, no tracing wanted. I usually print my embroidery designs on to cloth; do you try this? Here’s what you must do:

1. Works solely with INK JET printers, not laser kind.

2. Lower a chunk of freezer paper measuring 9 x 11.5 inches

3. Lower a chunk of cotton cloth (muslin) measuring 9 x 11.5 inches

4. Iron the paper to the material…the wax aspect of the paper is in opposition to the material.

5. Trim this paper/cloth sandwich to precisely 8.5 x 11.0 inches.

6. Place into your paper tray…and print.

NOTE: My printer feeds the paper from the tray FACE DOWN, so I put my paper/cloth sandwich into the tray with the material going through down. Take a look at your printer to see the way it feeds earlier than you waste a material sheet.

Print ONE SHEET AT A TIME; you cannot stack these to print multiples until you take pleasure in paper jams.
