The ideas that I have for wildcard week were a skateboard or a boat.
Then I realize that there are this beautiful costumes that they have in my country to dance special dances in special days. So I realize why not make something like that. So I downloaded my file to my flashdrive. Then I used the Pfaff Performance sewing machine.
Then I prepared my fabric. One piece is the fabric and the other piece is the stabilizer. Stabilizer is great for when your fabric needs some support as you stitch. In most situations it's possible to do without stabilizer but your stitching is more nicer with stabilizer .
Then you have your hoop to put you stabilizer and fabric.
Recommendations, when attaching the fabric and stabilizer to your hoop get full tension on your fabric. You can tight your hoop by twisting the lock mechanism.
Attached hoop to the machine. Once your machine is ON go to the hoop icon and choose the size of your hoop. Then I try to find the my file in the flash drive that is attached to the machine. A problem that came across was that I was having trouble to put my file into the hoop. Normally with the design that are in the machine you just click and they go straight to the hoop. So by reading in the manual you have to be holding the file until the hoop window appears.
Then treat your string to your machine all the way to the needle. Also attached your hoop to the machine. Once you have done that lower your foot pedal, to lower the pedal push the option button. Then in the window a string recommended appears. Treat the string on your machine just follow the arrows that are drew in the machine.
This picture is showing that my design has different colors. Which means that I have to change the colors everytime one is done. I changed the bobbin as well so that the color from the bottom and the color from the top match.
I changed to the last color and the face was not sewing so properly. So I search on the manual how can I go back and forth on the stiches. It was surprising to me that you can actually go back and forth between stitches.
