Position a piece of wash-away stabilizer over the hole. Spray the hoop again with temporary adhesive to get it ready to position the hem into the hoop to embroider the next motif.


 The next embroidery will stitch right over the patched hole.

If you don’t have embroidery software to print out a template, measure the embroidery you stitched and compare it to the measurement of the hem. If you can easily space a whole number of additional embroidery motifs around the hem, then, great, stitch on! If you will run short of space, figure out how much you have to space the designs to stitch them evenly around the hem. My butterfly design fit evenly around the hem—three motifs on the front and three on the back.


 Use the patched hole as a guide to hoop each design as you work around the hem.

When you have completed embroidering around the entire hem, do the other leg! While the second leg is stitching, you can use a pair of small embroidery scissors to trim away any large patches of stabilizer from the wrong side of the pants.

After you have completed all the embroidery, all you have to do to completely remove all the stabilizer is to throw the pants in the wash! Your new fancy pants will look great in yoga class or on that quick run to the grocery store!

Thanks,
