We recently added a Custom Pattern making service to our website. Do you have an idea for a project but you can’t find a pattern that works? We can make a custom pattern for you. We can take a picture or design idea and convert it into a pattern of any size. Read more about it…
To create a book mark you can just take a portion of a pattern you like, or create one of your own, or use a pattern made specifically for book marks and stitch it on some perforated paper which is stiffer than fabric, which makes it great for book marks. I suggest stitching the pattern before cutting the perforated paper to size to make it easier to stitch on. Stitch an area about 2 inches, by 6 inches and then carefully cut around your stitching to create your very own book mark. You can leave a border of the perforated paper or stitch a border around the edges. You can also add lace around the edges for a fancier look.
Hoops can be made out of plastic, metal, or wood and come in several different sizes. A hoop will keep your fabric taut while you stitch. There are also free standing hoops. Q-snaps are also an option for holding your fabric while you stitch. They snap apart for easy storage. To prevent creases from forming on your fabric, remove the hoop when you are not stitching and roll your fabric to store. I keep my fabric in a plastic bag while I am not working on it to avoid accidents. Some more experienced stitchers prefer to use no hoop at all. Others like to used a hoop when they work with Aida and no hoop when they used Linen fabric.
No ‘hoop wrinkles’; tension on fabric adjusts easily; disassembles in seconds to store or tote. 8″ x 8″
