- Cut a piece of fabric that is slightly larger than your embroidery hoop.
- Place the fabric in the hoop and tighten the screw to secure it. Make sure the fabric is taut and smooth.
- Using a pen or fabric marker, trace the design onto the fabric. Make sure to use a light touch so the lines can be easily erased later.
