HOW TO FRAME A PILLOW CASE
STEP 1 |
Place frame upside down onto framing device. Loosen the frame thumbscrew slightly. |
STEP 2 |
Fold pillow case in half, find center of band or measure above band using the chart above. Mark center point of design with a pin. Turn pillow case inside-out. |
STEP 3 |
Select a piece of Tearaway large enough to cover entire frame. Lightly spray one side of backing with Adhesive spray. Press backing onto center of wrong side of pillow case until fabric is laying flat. |
STEP 4 |
Turn fabric right side out and slip over top of framing devise. Position pillow case so your pin is in the center of the frame. Make sure grain is straight and fabric is straight before pressing frame into place. You may pull the garment from side to side in order to straighten grain and pull out excess puckered fabric inside the frame. Tighten thumbscrew. Thin woven items must be pulled taught. Loose fabric may result with a puckered finished embroidery. |
STEP 5 |
Lift the frame out of the framing device. Handle garment by the outer edges of the frame, so as not to loosen the fabric tension of the framed garment. YouÙre ready to attach frame to the machine. |
STEP 6 |
When the garment has completed sewing. You may pull away the excess Tearaway backing. When using two layers of Tearaway backing, pull one layer away at a time to reduce puckering. |
HOW TO FRAME A SHEET/ SHAM
The same technique applies except a sheet and sham are framed right side up. Therefore, the frame is attached right side up in framing device.
| If added stability is needed use two Tearaway backing criss crossed. The tearaway will give additional strength while sewing but can be pulled away one piece at a time when completed. | |
|
|
| If holes appear in the garment around the edges of the design check for: - Too high of a density for the size sewn? - Was the smallest frame size used? - Was the correct backing and adhesive used? - Use a smaller size needle. Ex. If a 75/1 1NP was used try a 70/10NP or BP (ball point needle) instead |
