How would I
#1
use my embroidery machine to make small embroidery squares? I would like to be able to place a small piece of fabric on my hoop to embroider. It seems as though I waste allot of fabric when I put a larger piece in my hoop and then I have to cut the design out of the large piece.
Any suggestions would be great!!
Thanks!

I try to do several small ones on a single piece of fabric before I cut them out. After you do one , unhoop and move over just enough so you won't overlap the design and do another. I usually cut my fabric big enough to do a row of 2 by the width of the fabric. I fan fold the excess and pin so it doesn't get caught up in the movement of the hoop.

I have usually used the iron on stuff for embroidering.
Then, I have a piece of fabric, that I have cut a square out of the middle and I baste the piece of fabric onto the "hole" so I can embroider it. It took me a bunch of tries to accomplish this, but it worked for me.
You could try this to see if it works for you.
