Recommended Stabilizer
AquaMesh stabilizer is recommended to easy turn these embroidery designs into free standing button-together Teddy Bear parts and pieces. Each button and loop is perfectly positioned around the design for easy assembly of this 3D Valentine Teddy Bear.
Fusible Woven Stabilizer
It is also recommended to iron on Fusible Woven stabilizer to back of the bear’s body fabric. This will keep the bear standing up straight and tall after the AquaMesh stabilizer has been washed way. No one wants a droopy bear!
Save stabilizer and time by combining more than one Teddy Bear sections within a single hooping.
Start by hooping two layers of AquaMesh stabilizer. Bear pieces are created using an appliqué style of placement and trimming technique.
Designs are easily defined with step by step instructions, size and stitch count.
After all Valentine Teddy Bear pieces are embroidered, rinse out all AquaMesh stabilizer. Once dried, work through the included PDF for precision assembly.
Alligator clamps are the key for easy “buttoning” of any 3D embroidered designs. These clamps can be slipped through the buttonholes, clamp down on the button and pull it through. This part of the assembly process is not fun, but alligator clamps make it possible. See below how the alligator clamps assist in pulling the loops through the buttons.
