Multi-hooping fabric bowls

To make a multi-hoop fabric bowl open a new screen, click new and pick the multi-hoop. Place a hoop on the multi-hoop image.

Set the parameter measurement to inches in the upper left corner.  Using a single straight stitch and the 3 mark from the left of zero and to the right of zero, digitize a checker board. If you have made a fabric bowl you know you will need a 5 to 5 1/2" center. That is what our checkerboard has provided.

Since the hoop will is only 10" wide but 20" long, we will make a design that we can embroider north and south. Then we will turn the bowl fabric to embroider the last 2 ends.

We choose a design from the PSW library.

Make you you place a stop between the flowers so you can multihoop each area. Flip the bottom flower vertically.

The 3 flower sections are now set to multihoop for a fabric bowl. save as northsouthbowl.psw

select the center square and delete the rose design. This is the multi-hoop design for the east-west part of the fabric bowl. Save as eastwestbowl.psw

write each design "as multi-hoop"

To sew the design cut a 20" square. Place a wash away center cross marking the X and Y. Once you have multi-hooped and sewn your criss cross of roses for the fabric bowl on the fabric, bond the fabric to "stiff stuff" using "wonder under". Bond a lining to the back of the stiff stuff. Trim the bowl to 16". . Cut a 1/2" to 1"wide dart at each corner that extends to the center 5" square. Butt the dart edges and use a wide satin stitch zig-zag to draw the bowl into a shape. Stain stitch the out side edges.
