Creative Projects You Can Complete

Use BERNINA 500E to stitch designs on suitable hooped fabric. Match the design to the machine’s supported embroidery field, and choose the right stabilizer, needle, and thread for the fabric. Embroidery area: 15.7" x 5.9". Size each design to the actual compatible hoop in use.

  • Personalize towels, napkins, and fabric gift panels with names or monograms, using stabilizer suitable for the fabric and a topper when needed.
  • Embellish garment panels, tote-bag panels, and quilt blocks before construction so the embroidery area can be hooped flat.
  • Create seasonal embroidered wall-hanging panels and patch designs sized to a compatible hoop; trim, finish, and assemble them with the appropriate separate tools.
  • Coordinate embroidery across a set of gifts by repeating a design on separately hooped pieces. Sew seams and quilt layers on a suitable sewing or quilting machine.
