I have chosen to do a dog design for this packpack. The design comes from The Embroidery Library
Determine the placement of your design on the backpack, make placement marks for hooping.
Turn the backpack inside out.
The backpack is embroidered using the hoopless method. (Hoopless embroidery means you hoop the
stabilizer not the item to be embroidered.)
Hoop Tearaway stabilizer in the appropriate size hoop.
Spray Tearaway with temporary adhesive spray.
Place the backpack on the stabilizer according to your placement marks.
Load the hoop and backpack into your machine and begin stitching.
