In this stitch along I will show you step by step not only how make the keyring tag, but how to:-
Personalise the text using built in embroidery machine fonts. 4:03
How to create the text.
How to centre the needle to your hoop to stitch your text in exactly the right place.
How to pick up the embroidery design you are making in the right place again after having stitched your personalised text.

As I used Simthread metallic thread albeit briefly in this stitch along I will show how to:

Jury rig a thread stand using a plastic beaker, three elastic bands and a pencil so that the thread unwinds nice and straight.
What needle to use.
The settings to change on your machine to stop thread from shedding to get virtually pain free stitching with metallics (I say virtually because some of it depends on some brands of thread being more challenging).

MY SUPPLIES

My fabrics and batting - I use Vilene High Loft Volume Fleece 295 or quilters batting from the Remnant House in the UK:

I can’t live without my sharp stabby tool as I call it, is a clay sculpting tool. I bought it in my local craft shop. Amazon do sell them as part of a clay sculpting set but not individually.

All my other supplies are from Amazon including my large squizzors. They are actually aquarium precision pinch action scissors.

I use H2O gone FSL water soluble stabilizer or Brothread cut away stabilizer for my stitch outs.
