Let’s get started to embroider gift tags:

Fix the stabilizer in the medium hoop.

Embroider the first line, it is the basting stitch. It helps you to position the coloured paper.

Put the paper on the rectangle of the basting stitch. Temporary adhesive spray Mettler Web Bond helps you keep it in place.

Embroider the rest of the pattern. I started with silver-grey-green metallic thread, but I found out it was difficult to read. I made another pair in light grey thread.

Take the project out of the embroidery hoop and tear away the stabilizer.

Glue the rest of the paper on the backside and cut the tag out with a rotary cutter, for straight lines.

Use the punch tool to make a hole in the circle.

You are ready with the gift tags from the Bernina magazine Inspiration!

 

You can make them in as many colors as you like.
