Step 1:

Hoop 2 pieces of wash-away stabilizer and run the earring embroidery designs.

If you want to use Puff Stuff, lay a piece of Puff Stuff over the stabilizer and hold it in place using painter’s tape. Run the design as you would normally.

Step 2:

When the designs are finished running, remove them from the hoop and cut them apart individually. 

Rinse out the wash-away stabilizer using warm water.

When using Puff Stuff, run the earrings under warm water and gently scrub them with a soft toothbrush to remove the Puff Stuff residue.

Step 3:

Using a pair of pliers, open the loop of your earring hook. 

With that opening, put it through the top loop of your embroidered earring. 

Close the earring loop tightly to ensure the embroidered earrings stay on the earring hook. 

Step 4: (optional)

Add that extra “wow” to your earrings by adding some diamonds! Add to the earring as you see fit.

Finished:

You’re finished! Quick, easy, and ready to impress!
