Gather your supplies! You will need the embroidery machine, thread in the color(s) you want to use, a hoop frame in the appropriate size, stabilizer sheets, the design, and the item you want to embroider.
Follow the prompts to set up the machine or ask for help from one of our MakerSpace staff!
Place your item with a stabilizer sheet on top, then place that inside the hoop frame.
Place the hoop frame at the base of the embroidery machine and secure it with the latch on either side.
