@botanical.stitching: How to back your hoop using a hoop butt kits: - place your colored fabric with the pattern facing the table - place your design with the embroidery facing up - hoop the fabrics - cut the innermost layer(s) all the way down - cut your embroidered layer to around 1 inch - cut slits around this layer, around 1/2 inch apart - glue each layer down to the hoop - peel the backing off your label - place label and iron on (hold for ~10 seconds) And you’re done!
