This “Shadow Work” is done
by any sewing machine that has an embroidery unit. All brands included
and formats.
The designs are just like any “Digitized
Embroidery Designs” except the color
threads are under the fabric. Your bobbin remains with white embroidery
thread. HOW IS THIS DONE? EASY......
- The “base” of
the design (or the colored part under the
fabric) is done by stitching the first part of the color
sequences onto just a single piece of water soluble stabilizer
that has been tightly placed into your embroidery hoop (or, you
can use several sheets if necessary depending of the type stabilizer
you are using). I now am recommending Aqua Magic (found in most
all Viking and Pfaff Dealer shops - there are others out there
under different names that are just as good and similar - it feels
like a piece of fabric.)
- After you have finished stitching all the "base" colored
sequences, the next step [according to your stitch-out sequence]
is to place your fabric down. Yes, that is right, you
never hoop your fabric. You rotate or shift your fabric on top
of the hoop and place it down where you want the design to be
stitched. To do this you apply double-stick scotch tape
onto your hoop-ed stabilizer around the design/or spray adhesive
to the back of your fabric. Place the fabric where you want it over the
base design that's been stitched onto your hoop-ed stabilizer's.
(you know and can see easily exactly where to place the design
through the fabric!) Remember, your using fabric you can slightly
see through to do this work, not a thick denim for example!
- Now simply continue stitching your design. It
will now stitch the outlines. You make your color
changes as normal according to the stitch-out sequence you
are following. When finished your design is done. Remove the
fabric and stabilizer from the hoop. Then simply remove the
stabilizer, as its water soluble! Your outline stitched have
been digitized to be able to HOLD your colored stitched threads
UNDER the fabric to shadow through to the top side of your
fabric!
IT’S JUST THAT EASY!!! You never hoop
your fabric. You never need center points. You have a gorgeous
design that looks just as beautiful as hand-work and finished in
mere minutes.
EVERY DESIGN CD has a book with it with complete
instructions step-by-step. The color sequences are printed in the
book under each design, which is pictured in full color, for you
to follow. The CD has auto installation and you may choose your
own format to install.
