Directions for Fancy Monogrammed Baby Bib Project / September 2001

(This project features letters from our Victorian Monogram Set 6)

Step 1. Print instructions.

These are .pdf files, and require Adobe Acrobat Reader software in order to view and print. (The references in these instructions to Figure 1, etc are to illustrations that are part of the .pdf version)
To insure printing in exact size, be sure that FIT TO PAGE (see Properties under the Print Menu) is not selected.

Step 2. Review instructions and materials required (materials list at the end of these instructions).

Step 3 . Purchase pre-digitized corner designs

The companion designs for this project are corner brackets in six different styles. The brackets have been laid out at the corners of a rectangle.

The set includes the six design styles in rectangular layout in two sizes: 2 1/2" (62 mm) x 3 1/2" (88mm), and 2" (51mm) x 2 3/4" (70mm).

Each product also contains a .txt file that can be read or printed, called "Notes". This file contains information about the number of stitches in the design, the sewing sequence of the various parts of the design, and suggested thread colors.

The Product files are available in 7 different formats.

.exp - Melco expanded
.hus - Husqvarna Viking

From our website, the designs will be received as a self-extracting zip file (.exe), with the following product numbers:

Corner1a - same as Corner 1 - small size

Corner2 - a three-color square corner bracket, 4 designs arranged in a rectangle - large size
Corner2a - same as Corner 2 - small size

Corner3 - a two-color square corner bracket, 4 designs arranged in a rectangle- large size

Corner4 - a two color zig-zag corner bracket, 4 designs arranged in a rectangle - large size.
Corner4a - same as Corner 4 - small size.

Corner5 - a three-color circular spoked corner bracket, 4 designs arranged in a rectangle - large size
Corner5a - same as Corner 5 - small size

Corner6 - a three-color circular flower corner bracket, 4 designs arranged in a rectangle - large size
Corner6a - same as Corner 6 - small size

Step 4. . Merge a letter from the Monogram Set of your choice with Corner design.

Combine the Corner design of your choice with the letter of your choice, then save the new combination design under a filename of your choice.

We used a letter (S) from the Victorian Monogram Set 6. We chose the smaller of the two availible sizes, and merged it with the Flowers corner design (Corner 6) in the larger of the two available sizes.

You can create your own unique version of this project by choosing a different set of Corner designs.

Step 5.Hoop the bib, and embroider the design.

We hooped the bib along with one layer of medium-weight tear-away backing. This backing gave good stability, and was easy to remove after the design was finished.

Congratulations! Your project is complete.
