This is super cute, great job. Oh I have soooo many ideas 💡

[@rosanne7804]

Cute! I think “MERRY” would look adorable across the chest.

Love it! I have been seeing these in all the embroidery groups as well but have not yet tried it. I do my own digitizing and have recently made several large applique bows, one of which I used on the front of a sweatshirt with sequin fabric and one on top of a large pumpkin. Well looks like I'm going to have to make some longer tails and try the applique on the sides of sweatshirt for sure. I love the idea of cutting off the bands. This will make this project more affordable to try with lesser expensive sweatshirts. I definitely agree with cutting the sweatshirt while it's still in the hoop. One thing I do with my appliques is press the prepared heat and bond fabric with an iron while it's still in the hoop before the final satin stitch. I'm wondering if this will help to do that first before cutting the sweatshirt. Might just make it a bit more stable when cutting, IDK? I'll find out though. Thank you so much for the tutorial, I know everyones going to love it!

[@mamamott]

I tried it but with iron on glitter vinyl and it turned out so good!

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Oh that sounds like a fantastic idea! Did you cut the band or leave it? I still can't decide which I prefer! lol

[@thedaniellemiles]

Thanks for sharing this step-by-step tutorial, Ashley! The satin stitching is so satisfying to watch especially knowing you're in the homestretch. I am so looking forward to making matching crewnecks for me and my two girls. They are going to love it!

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Aww thank you so much for your kind words!!! You and your girls are going to look so cute!!!!

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Thank you so much!!!! You are too sweet! excited for you to try as well, it really is so cute!

[@janicekusaba9517]

I think if you fuse the heat and bond first it might help seal the fuzziness and will make trimming easier. I have been watching how to make patches and I believe they trim after they fuse the heat n bond. Just a thought 😊

[@bernielove49]

Love your headband. I have the same fabric can’t wait to use it Thanks for sharing ❤you’re the best.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Thank you! its from Amazon!!!! lol isn't it the perfect Christmas Plaid!!! I have had that fabric in my stash just waiting for its moment to shine lol!!! Thank you so much for your kind words!

You're welcome! I hope it turns out perfect for you!

[@normacooper6377]

Just found your channel and subscribed! Love your choice of dark green sweatshirt with the red plaid fabric! So sew pretty😍. Thanks for sharing your techniques. Haven’t ever used a heat press nor a heat gun. Might give those a try sometime to see how I like them. Typically just use my domestic iron. Love your hooping station. Handy if you’re doing lots of shirts-which I don’t.😊 I’m strictly making one or two for myself and family.

[@patriciadevine2195]

I love your videos!

[@micheleselfridge2726]

Can’t wait to try this! Great video! I have never used a heat gun. Where did you buy that? Thank you 😊

[@angelaframe7959]

What do you think about creating a svg file of the design and cut it out on the Cricut so you don’t have all that trimming to do? Works great on regular appliqué.

[@ciliadangelo3317]

Beautiful!!!!…. Thank you for your videos. Where I can get the heat gun, can I get any heat gun ?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Thank you so much!!! Here is the link to the heat tool I use: amzn.to/3YzR2Oq

@@TheMonogramMompreneur Thank you very much for taking the time to respond my question, although you provided me with the wrong link, I got it from someone else who asked the same question 😊… I am so happy I was able to try this gorgeous bow trend and even more happy with the results, I just need to get the heat gun to trim the edges…. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge …XOXO

[@jenniferdrug1916]

The heat gun is a new one to me. What exactly does that do? Seal the threads?

I use sewtites to hold my stabilizer and love them

maybe a little fray check on the snipped stitch? Can i ask what size sweatshirt you ordered? i hate ordering clothing- lol- i never order the right size. I do like mine a little oversized

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

oh good idea!!! I will have to dig out my fray check!! Thank you! So I wear a medium and this is a medium unisex Gildan 18000. It is a little oversized but left room to cut the bottom band off!

I do have an in the hoop headband design I had bought....But lol this one is from Amazon!! Here is the link to the one I am wearing: amzn.to/48hRqod

[@janicewest9120]

Love it soooooo much. Definitely going to try this. You mention that the Mighty Hoop is 13 inches, but your machine hoop is 12 inches. Can you help me understand how you can use a hoop that is 1 inch larger on your machine please. I ask because I am on the verge of getting this machine and we all want the biggest hoops we can get right, LOL Thanks so much for sharing your work with us.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Good Question!!! So this Brother Embroidery Machine won't stitch past 12 inches you are correct! So it won't stitch past 12 inches (it's actually less than 12 inches)..but this mighty hoop still fits! I just prefer this 8x13 hoop for big items like sweatshirts ! It fits in the same bracket size of the big hoop (8x12) that came with my brother machine! I hope this helps answer your question!!! Excited for you! Thanks again for your kind words!

[@janicewest9120]

@@TheMonogramMompreneur Thank you so much, exactly what I wanted to know!!!!

Do you make your own headbands. I really like the one in this video.

Thank you ! I did not make this one! It's from Amazon! Here is the link to the one I am wearing: amzn.to/48hRqod

[@angelamaddux2917]

Did you finish the sweatshirt raw edge in any way such as hemming?

[@jennifermcqueary7446]

Could you please explain the use of the heat gun? I understand ironing the heat and bond. Thanks!

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Yes...so some people like to use a lighter to seal the edges, prevent fraying, and just clean up it up....I do not like using an open flame lol so I use a heat gun and it draws in some of those fibers you weren't able to cut off! hope this helps explain!

[@rebekamyers1931]

Which heat gun do you use?

[@renaetepe7046]

How can we do this with just a regular machine? I don’t have an embroidery machine.

[@angelamaddux2917]

Honestly that might be easier to get it lined up just right. Apply heat and bond light to fabric. Trace a bow design on the fabric and cut it out. Iron the bow on the sweatshirt in the proper place. Cut the slit in shirt. Use a machine zigzag stitch to cover the raw edges.

[@verabenjamin9475]

Did you make your headband? If so what pattern did you use?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

I did not! It's from Amazon! Here is the link if you want a closer look: amzn.to/48hRqod. You could totally make one similar !

[@mlistander]

What does the heat gun do?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

some people like to use a lighter to clean up the edges and prevent fraying, it seals the fabric and thread.....I prefer a heat gun versus the open flame lol, I have burned to many things!!! Hope this helps!
