12 Days of Giftmas Series It's Day 3 - Let's make Holiday Placemats!

[@angelabowman1085]

Turned out beautiful Jeanette. I would have never thought to embroider on that type of material.

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Me neither. I thought I would try it. I really like the way it turned out!

[@SusanDaman]

Love this idea. I think floating these placemats would work great.

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

I think so too!

[@melaniesimington2056]

Love your videos. I’ve used similiar placemats for embroidery. I used water soluble stabilizer, lightly spritzed the placemat with spray stuff to stick to stabilizer to avoid hoop burn. You can pin on the edges also to help keep it in place. Use water to remove the stabilizer and no one will know. Thank you for all your advice and sharing. I look forward to all your videos. 😊

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

That's a great idea! I will definitely give that a try. Glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@TheCraftyPuertoRican]

I love this idea! Great for X-mas gifts. Thanks for sharing.

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

You are so welcome! Great you like the idea!

[@cyn4rest]

Maybe a quick shot with hair dryer on medium would relax the hoop marks. Nice idea.

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

It eventually went flat in time.

[@MimisHugsAndStitches]

I just bought placemats like this but for a round table. I love this idea and am going to try it for our round kitchen table. I love your videos…I’m always happy to see them pop up. ❤

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Glad you are enjoying the videos! It's a great way to decorate your table for the holidays!

[@deborahpegram8385]

Love it🎉

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Thanks! Glad you like the video!

I really like the open weave of that font. I don’t know what I would look for

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Look for stretch fonts.

[@marshafrost1488]

I would float it on a sticky wash away stabilizer.

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Yes. That's a good option.

[@Sacred.Wisdom]

Wow. This project turned out so beautiful. I know you said the Seller of the font is no longer on Etsy, but can you still share the shop name, as they may still be selling on their social media platforms or website.

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

The name was Embroidery Land

[@Sacred.Wisdom]

​@@BoricuaSewingCraftsThanks Jeanette. I found them on IG and website, but couldn't find this font there 😢. I reached out and hope they reply . 🙏 again.

[@brunyan3518]

Nice! Can you say what type of needle you used or did I miss that? Thank you ❤️

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

I used a 75/11 needle

[@angiexixi3882]

Hi Jeannette, Random question. Is their a way to curve a design after it’s been digitized?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

It will depend on the design. You will need to use embroidery software to do this. If you are curving an image you need need it digitized again.

[@angiexixi3882]

@@BoricuaSewingCrafts Ok and I also have another problem. 😖 My machine starts embroidering and all of sudden it stops embroidering but the needle keeps going. Any idea why?

[@wendyvollrath6478]

When ur using the mighty hoop on ur 10 needle which i just purchased how do u figure out what size hoop do you know what you need cuz there not programmed into the machine?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

The size of the hoop can be programmed into your embroidery software. Here is a video on how I did it with using Embrillance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmKTqX1vnatjibc

[@lyndabrown4036]

But I will keep searching!

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Do a search for sketch embroidery fonts

[@marshafrost1488]

What type of needle did you use for this?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

I used a 75/11 needle.

[@lyndabrown4036]

What’s the name of the font? Maybe someone else sells it

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Unfortunately when I saved the font I save it under a different name. You can buy a small holiday design and add it to a letter.

[@deannarego2283]

Have I missed day 3 & 4?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

One video will be released weekly.
