TIPS & TECHNIQUES KB
Steve adds texture to the fills using the Wings XP 6 software The design is rotated before embroidering starts, allowing the bag to hang
in front of the Ricoma RCM-1501TC-7S machine, out of the way of the
embroidery head
A backing isn’t needed as the woven, lined bag provides sufficient stability
by itself
All the red space invaders are embroidered first...
And then the pale blue space invaders, and then the pink Doing all the same coloured space invaders together reduces the amount
of time spent on thread changes
The space invaders have different fill patterns The varying textures can be seen as the light catches the threads
