How To Hoop Ribbon For Monogramming Hair Bows

Okay, so today I'm going to talk to you about how this is given to monogramming for hair bones, I find that it's easier to monogrammed moon before I photos and you can monogram them after you put the bow together, but you don't have to make sure that The tails are long or that you can get access to it on a flat method, so this just works out a little easier for me and I have three hoop sizes here. This is the five by seven before before and then like the two-inch and this one's really good for using small ribbon. But it's also really good for using scrap pieces of stabilizer. So it saves you some money in the long run and that once the ribbon or the monogram gets a little too big, you can't use this one very well. This one is the one that I use the most often for my hair bows, but when I first started, I just had this bigger one before I purchased these and it works. You know equally well, it's just. I feel like it's placed, maybe a little bit more stabilizer okay, so this is how I do it. I think my saber lovers. This is the medium and tearaway about four or five yards of this at a time, and what I do is I cut a strip. That'S going to be adequate to the width of my ribbon. So if I'm using like the 2.25 ribbon and my letters are going to be about the width of that I'll, just try to kind of cut a piece that is that long and I'll show you here. In a minute, while I'm doing it this way, but so I'm going to just cut a strip off just a little bit thick and hard to cut. So it's good idea just to kind of have some sheet scissors just just for this, but okay. So what that does is it leaves this intact, so you can use it for bigger things, but then you got this and it you know this makes a long, really long strip and the reason why I do it like that it eliminates a lot of waste of The stabilizer, so if I were scrubbing who's it on this big food, I'm going to use the 2.25 ribbon for good sling. Now I'm going to take that part out, I'm going to run I'm going to leave this bulk in the in the back. I'M just going to kind of run that through there like that, and then I'm going to take my ribbon you're going to match it up with this and make a long one we'll try to get it kind of on there straight okay. So I'm going to hold it as tight as I can on this end, then I take this and kind of pull it together and see how nice and tight that is. Okay, so hold my finger there. Then I'm going to take and put freemen on that side and then I'm going to hold it down on this end and as I pull on that end, I'm going to push down on the frame with my thumb, and this will take a little bit of practice. You see how nice and tight idea now if there is a little bit of bulk - and there is some most generally - I can kind of just take it and pull that the ribbon is 100 % polyester. It really doesn't stretch or anything I mean you don't want it overly tight, but you want it really on there as tight as you can get it without there being any. You know bulk or anything. So I mean that's really nice and tight on there and then what you can do is you know you just snap this on your embroidery machine. You know find the middle point and what I do is I put it on the setting that will show the very very bottom where it's going to end, because I don't want to go past that but I'll get down here on the end, as close as I Can to leave me enough of a tail and then say I would embroiderer from this point to say that point. Okay, so my letters there, I got enough for a tail and when I pop this out, I would be able to turn off my stabilizer about right. There so then, I would only be using from there in there and stabilizer for one hair bow, which is not too bad, considering that this stabilizer is really economical, and I mean then, even if you wanted to you know, do it up here, then you would have Enough stabilizer left to use a piece in this little scoop, but I just found that this method works the best and I mean that's the same way. You would have it in the other size tooth. For example, okay, that's four by four one and now generally Whitten use this a lot of stabilizer on. There would use a little bit skinnier, but anyway it would. You can see it works. The same way just hold it and kind of pull it together and then you're going to snap the top in and then pull as you snap it in and then you see there's a little spot there and I can kind of just pull that out and - and I mean if it's a little bit uneven like it is. I can hold my thumb here and pull this out and then, if kind of Rio does it and it's no big deal a little too tight anyway, and that's how I lose my ribbon for monogrammed and hair bows.
